Liverpool announced this Friday that Klopp will leave the club at the end of the season. The decision was made by the coach and brought to the attention of the club owners. In an interview with the official Liverpool media, the German admitted that such a decision may come as a surprise.
“I understand that it comes as a shock to a lot of people the first time they hear it, but obviously I can explain it, or at least try to explain it,” he began.
And he continued: “I love everything about this club, this city, our fans, I love the team, I love the staff. I love everything, but in reality I am convinced that this is a decision that I have to make. I’m running out of strength. I have no problem now, obviously I already knew that I would have to announce it at some point, but I’m fine now. I know I can’t do the same job over and over again. “
“After the years we spent together and after everything we went through together, the respect for you has grown, the love for you has grown, and the least I owe you is the truth, and that’s the truth,” Klopp said .
The German coach explained that the decision had been made since November: “I already informed the club in November. I should explain that the work I do is visible from the outside, but most things happen around situations like this. This means that one season is starting and the next one is practically planned. As we sat down to talk about possible contracts and the next summer internship, the thought came to mind: “I’m not sure I’ll be here anymore.” Obviously I started thinking about it. It didn’t start then, but it’s clear that last season was very difficult and there were moments when at other clubs the decision would probably have been: “Go, thank you very much for everything.” but perhaps we should part here or end here.” That obviously didn’t happen here.”
Klopp also left guarantees for the rest of the season: “The outside world wants to use this decision, laugh at it, upset us. We are Liverpool, we have been through tougher things together. And you’ve been through tougher things before.” I arrived. Let’s make this our strength. That would be really cool. Let’s make the most of this season and have one more thing to smile about when we look back in the future.”
It is worth remembering that Klopp has been in charge of Liverpool since 2015 and that with the Reds he has won the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup, League Cup, European Super Cup and Club World Cup.
