The news shook the Liverpool and world football: Jurgen Klopp announced Friday that at the end of the season he will step down from coaching the team Anfieldwhich he has directed since October 2005 and where He won it all: a Champions League, a Premier League, an FA Cup, a League Cup, a Community Shield and a European Super Cup and a Club World Cup.
His reasons were, according to himself Klopp, which ran out of power. The German coach has a contract until 2026, but this Friday he said that, starting to prepare for next season, he realized that he no longer has the energy to do what he has done so far. The reason why Klopp He talks that it has some explanations.
That, even with a contract signed until 2026, this day will come is something that any fan of Liverpool I can intuit. What caused surprise was that the announcement came at this moment, with the top team in the Premier, who qualified for the final of the League Cup (on February 25 they will play it against Chelsea), about to face the Norwich in the round of 32 of the FA Cup and in the round of 16 of the Europa League.
The truth is Klopp choose to say it now, with Liverpool again at the top, instead of leaving during the two massive crises that the team experienced during the German coach’s time: in 2020-21, although in the end they managed to be third, and in 2022-23, when they were left out of the Champions League.
there Klopp He continued to the foot of the canyon, despite any rumor or speculation. He didn’t want to leave Liverpool at a bad time. Also when the position of the German coach was vacant on two occasions, when he left Joachim Löw and then Hansi Flick (who was replaced by Julian Nagelsmann).
For many, Klopp He chose to say this now because he believes that, far from damaging the attitude of the fans, it will make Anfield even more of a ‘hell’ than it already is for the rest of the season. As far as the players are concerned, a motivator like Klopp He knows he will make them their best even though he knows their coach is leaving.
