Jurgen Klopp He is undoubtedly one of the most emblematic coaches of recent years. His farewell to Liverpool has shaken the football scene, but thought that, as he first said, it took a sabbatical year where he could rest and reset after several seasons of maximum demand. But his final words suggest we won’t see him on the bench as a coach again. Klopp has ‘taken off his tracksuit’.
At 57 years old he made it clear that this was not a personal whim, but a general decision. ”The way things are today, it’s over for me as a coach. I didn’t leave it on a whim, it was a general decision. I have also coached the best clubs in the world.” ”Maybe we can talk about it again in a few months.”.

He also admitted that his life will continue to be associated with football because it cannot happen. ”I want to continue working in football and use my experience and contacts to help others. However, there are no opportunities available at this time. There are no interested clubs, or countries looking for my services.” As for his new life, he doesn’t spend all his free time being idle. ”I’m too young to limit myself to that. Right now, I’m ruling out being a coach again.”
A big race full of Rock and roll
He is one of the most prestigious coaches for everything he achieved and for the way he achieved it. Also for involving the fans, the most important part of football, in every victory. Between Liverpool and Borussia Dortmund he won 13 titles. Some victories that came with a high intensity style of play, crushing pressure on rivals and an offensive storm. An intensity he also sent to the band giving instructions and celebrating with the crowd. A consummate orchestral conductor. Rock and roll, the kind that ball lovers expect again. Now he will retire, but football will always be there for him again.
