End of an Era: Jurgen Klopp Leaving Liverpool
By It’s really fascinating how some coaches succeed in spending most of their careers or even their whole careers in one club. It’s obvious that they stay in one club because of good results.
Some clubs, let’s say, Man United, will always be remembered for their coach, Sir Alex Ferguson. Although Liverpool FC had a couple of great coaches, the one that really stands out is Jurgen Klopp.
The German has been one of the most amazing mad geniuses and brought Liverpool the old glory and new fame. Unfortunately, this coach has been rumoured to leave the club at the end of the 2023/24 season.
The news about Klopp leaving Liverpool struck the whole world of football. I know one thing for sure, and it’s that Klopp will go down in history as one of the most legendary Liverpool managers to exist.
One of the Best Coaches in the Previous Decade and More
Jurgen Klopp used to coach Mainz and Borussia Dortmund before joining Liverpool in 2015. The rest is history. Even before his marvellous start at Liverpool, Klopp did know how to guide his teams towards some major titles.
So, the German was well-ready and fully aware of what he could do for Liverpool. The Reds were in a bit of a crisis before the Klopp era. So, this mad genius actually gifted this club with a lot more than what most people think.
First of all, he gave Liverpool team spirit and the motivation to fight and function as a whole. The mad genius also did some outstanding scouting job. He influenced the signings of Salah, van Dijk, Mane, Alisson, Robertson, Matip, Wijnaldum, and many other unbelievably good players.
Not to mention the trophies he collected. Every coach’s dream is to win the Champions League. That’s what Klopp did in the Champions League 2018/19 final. He went on to lift the Super Cup and World Cup trophy the same year.
The following season, the mad genius led the Reds to the first Premier League title after 30 years. One of the latest major trophies that the Liverpudlians won following Klopp’s instructions was the FA Cup title in 2022. But you know, nothing lasts forever, not even Klopp’s reign in Liverpool.
Why is Jurgen Klopp Leaving Liverpool?
After almost ten years of coaching this club, the German decided to withdraw. It was really a mystery, and many fans wondered why is Jurgen Klopp leaving Liverpool. He recently shed some light on this.
One of the main reasons for his resignation is, as he says that he feels he’s slowly running out of energy. As the German said, he is alright now but feels that such a lifestyle and intense urban coaching career could lead to eventual burnout or maybe even something worse.
The mainstream media nowadays is full of stories about the mad genius leaving Liverpool. Some of them are interested in his replacements, too. There is much speculation regarding the future Liverpool manager, a few of them stating that Tuchel, Alonso, Roberto De Zerbi, or even Graham Potter could succeed this legendary coach.
