“I understand that now, when you hear this for the first time, it will probably come as a shock to many,” Klopp began in the video speech in question. “But I can explain my decision to you. Or at least try to explain.”
“I love absolutely everything about this club. I love everything about this city. I love everything about our fans. I love the team. I love the staff at the club. I love everything,” Klopp said. “But the fact that I, despite all the love, still made such a decision hopefully shows you that I am convinced: this is what I have to do.”

“My energy is running out,” added the manager, loved with equal passion by Liverpool fans over the years. «Evidently I have known for some time that sooner or later I would have to present myself to you with this announcement. I know and feel that I cannot continue like this over and over and over again.”
“After all the years we’ve spent together and all the amazing experiences we’ve had together, my respect and love for you has only grown. The least I owe you now is the truth. And this is the truth!”
At the end of this season, his assistants Pepijn Lijnders and Peter Krawietz and elite talent development coach Vitor Matos will leave Liverpool with Klopp. Liverpool added in a statement that Lijnders wants to pursue a career as a head coach.
“I already informed the club of the decision in November,” revealed Klopp. “That’s why I think it’s necessary to explain some things a little. Those who look at this work from outside see me mostly on the sidelines, in training and so on. But in reality most things happen elsewhere, away from the playing and training fields To put it more precisely: when the season starts, the next season is already being planned.
