(The Guardian) Jürgen Klopp to leave Liverpool at end of season
Some absolutely huge breaking news to bring you: Liverpool have announced that Jürgen Klopp will step down as manager at the end of the season.
Klopp 'running out of energy' for Liverpool job
More on Jürgen Klopp’s shock decision to leave Liverpool this summer, two years before the end of his contract, from Andy Hunter.
Klopp says he had told the owners in November of his intention to leave. “I can understand that it’s a shock for a lot of people in this moment, when you hear it for the first time, but obviously I can explain it – or at least try to explain it,” Klopp said.
“I love absolutely everything about this club, I love everything about the city, I love everything about our supporters, I love the team, I love the staff. I love everything. But that I still take this decision shows you that I am convinced it is the one I have to take.
“It is that I am, how can I say it, running out of energy. I have no problem now, obviously, I knew it already for longer that I will have to announce it at one point, but I am absolutely fine now. I know that I cannot do the job again and again and again and again.
“After the years we had together and after all the time we spent together and after all the things we went through together, the respect grew for you, the love grew for you and the least I owe you is the truth – and that is the truth.”
