Klopp Hints at Liverpool Exit After Current Contract
Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp, has suggested that he intends to leave the Reds at the end of the current contract and take a year-long sabbatical from football.
The former Borussia Dortmund manager joined Liverpool in 2015, after a successful time at BVB, where he won two Bundesliga league titles, a German Cup and reached the UEFA Champions League final in 2013.
The 52-year-old has since done a superb job at Liverpool, leading the club to successive UEFA Champions League finals; losing 3-1 to Real Madrid in 2018, then winning 2-0 against Tottenham Hotspur in 2019.
As a result, Liverpool owners Fenway Sports Group are keen to tie Klopp down to a new long-term contract, but the German seems to have a different plan.
Speaking to the German magazine, Kicker, Klopp revealed his sabbatical plans: “I have absolute energy. But I have one problem. I can’t do ‘a little bit’. I can only do ‘all or nothing’. When I decide that I cannot do it any longer then I will take a break for a year.”
He further said that he wants to use the break to recharge his batteries: “But the chances are very high that my energy levels will go up again [after a year’s break], and that I can then do the job the way I want to.”
