Friday morning brought the shock news from Liverpool Football Club that first-team manager, Jürgen Klopp, would be leaving the Reds at the end of the 2023/24 season.
As one of the most successful managers and most charismatic personalities in the Premier League, he will be sorely missed.
Speaking to official club media, the German let it be known that he was “running out of energy” and that he wanted to “tell the truth” to supporters who have sung his name with fervour from the Anfield terraces over the years.
From a first-ever Premier League title, another Champions League title after an incredible semi-final comeback over Barcelona and much more besides, there have been so many brilliant memories that Klopp has given to the Liverpool faithful.
At present, the Reds sit atop the Premier League table, and the aim will surely be to give Klopp the best possible send off.
A full video of Klopp’s official statement can be found via this link to Liverpool’s YouTube channel.
What do you think about this announcement Liverpool fans? Who would you like to see as Klopp’s replacement? Let us know in the comments!
Absolutely gutted. Shocked and saddened but love our gaffer to death. Hope we can win as many trophies as possible for him to give him the best possible send off.
A man who just ‘got’ Liverpool from the moment he walked through the door.
