What will Jurgen Klopp do next?

When announcing he would be leaving Liverpool, Klopp explained his decision and cited lack of energy as the reason for his departure.

He said: “It’s because I’m, how can I put it, running out of energy.

“I have no problem now, obviously I already knew it for longer than I should announce it at some point, but I’m totally fine now.

“I know I can’t do this job over and over and over and over again. »

So it looks like Klopp will give himself some time to rest and step away from management as his energy wanes.

And it won’t be a small break, as he confirmed he won’t manage for at least a year after leaving Liverpool.
