Liverpool confirmed on Friday, January 26, that Jurgen Klopp will leave at the conclusion of the season. Klopp joined the Reds in 2015 and helped them win their first Premier League title.
“Jurgen Klopp has announced his decision to step down as #LFC manager at the end of the season, having informed the club’s ownership of his wish to leave his position in the summer,” read a statement on Liverpool’s official X account.
On Liverpool’s website, Klopp gave his reasons for quitting the team. He stated that he was “running out of energy” and that he thought the moment was appropriate to make the decision.
“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.”
“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.”
