Jurgen Klopp, who won the championship with Liverpool after 30 years and made his name known to the whole world, said, "I will be out at the end of the season." Even though he says 'I am a normal person', the German coach has a special place in Liverpool's history.
Jürgen Klopp made a surprise statement the other day and announced that he would leave Liverpool at the end of the season. This decision came as a great shock to the fans of the Reds, who are leading the Premier League. Interestingly, Liverpool experienced a similar incident with two legends, first Bill Shankly and then Kenny Dalglish, in the last 50 years. But this is very different from all of them...
Klopp instilled faith and a sense of unity in the city from the first day he arrived. As if to live up to his nickname 'The Normal One', he wandered the streets of the city and spent time with the public in pubs and restaurants. At his first meeting, he gathered 80 club employees in one room, and at that moment he knew all their names by heart! This bond turned the belief he wanted at Anfield Road into an unshakable force. First, he rebuilt the club and then he ended the 30-year championship drought. As if it wasn't enough, he crowned all these with the Champions League trophy.
Jürgen Norbert Klopp (born 16 June 1967) is a German professional football manager and former player who is the manager of Premier League club Liverpool. He is widely regarded as one of the best football managers in the world.
You will never Walk alone
Shankly founded the club, Dalglish added value to it, and Klopp took it to points no one could have imagined. Now English football is about to lose a very important figure.
Klopp, who together with Pep Guardiola raised football standards to unprecedented levels in the country, is leaving the stage. And he promises Liverpool fans that they will never walk alone with the following statements:
“There will never be another English club even if I have nothing to eat.”
FOR THE FIRST TIME HE FELL UP WITH HIS WIFE ULLA
Klopp's wife, Ulla Sandrock, has always been the most influential person in the biggest decisions of his career. From leaving Borussia Dortmund to signing for Liverpool instead of Manchester United, the leading player was always Ulla. When he wanted to leave two years ago, Ulla stated that he wanted to stay, and Klopp continued his career in Liverpool, saying, "The most important contract I have signed in my life is with Ulla." It may have come as a surprise to Ulla, too, that he gave up his contract, which he had extended until 2026, with one year remaining, but Klopp's open statement that he had run out of energy would also be an important justification for his wife.
WHO SAID WHAT ABOUT KLOPP'S DECISION?
NOW I WILL SLEEP MORE COMFORTABLY!
The announcement of Jürgen Klopp, who has been coaching Liverpool since 2015, that he will leave at the end of the season, had a great impact not only in Island football but all over the world. The most striking reaction came from Manchester City Coach Pep Guardiola, his biggest rival in England:
“Is Jürgen Klopp leaving? This means I will sleep better now! The day before playing Liverpool was always a nightmare. Klopp is the best opponent I have ever faced in my life. I wish the best for him. “I'm sure he will come back.”
I MISS HIM ALREADY
Earning the respect of their opponents is something that only special characters can achieve. Jürgen Klopp has achieved this with every coach he has competed with. One of them is Chelsea Coach Mauricio Pochettino. See how he evaluates his German colleague's decision to leave:
“When I was fired from Tottenham Club, the first message came from Jürgen Klopp. I want to show my respect to him because the work he has done in his Liverpool career is truly amazing. We must respect his/her wish to be heard. I miss him already.”
9 YEARS ARE A LONG TIME, HE IS TIRED
Manchester United Coach Erik Ten Hag said that he could understand the reason for Jürgen Klopp's decision and used the following statements:
“I can tell he's running out of energy. 9 years is a long time. "The Premier League is very busy, combined with the European cups, 9 years is a very long period."
