Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp has announced that he will be stepping down from his role at the club at the end of this season, saying he is “running out of energy”.
The German tactician made this known in a video posted on the Reds’ official social media pages on Friday morning.
He was appointed as the coach of the Premier League (PL) outfit in October 2015 and his contract was due to run until 2026.
Announcing his decision to leave the club, he said: “I told the club already in November.
“I can understand that it’s a shock for a lot of people in this moment, when you hear it for the first time, but obviously I can explain it – or at least try to explain it.
“I love absolutely everything about this club, I love everything about the city, I love everything about our supporters, I love the team, I love the staff. I love everything. But that I still take this decision shows you that I am convinced it is the one I have to take.
“It is that I am, how can I say it, running out of energy. I have no problem now, obviously, I knew it already for longer that I will have to announce it at one point, but I am absolutely fine now. I know that I cannot do the job again and again and again and again.”

Liverpool have won every major honour since the 56-year-old German took charge of the Reds.
Klopp guided Liverpool to their sixth European Cup in 2019 when they beat Tottenham in the Champions League final in Madrid.
They followed that up with victory in the Uefa Super Cup and the Fifa Club World Cup and, most significantly, the PL League title the following season.
Although, the Reds failed to win any major silverware last season, they are in contention for four trophies this term.
