“He's running out of energy”: Jürgen Klopp will step down as Liverpool manager – video | Football

Jurgen Klopp has stunned Liverpool and the world of football by announcing that he will leave the club at the end of the season. The 56-year-old attributed his shocking decision to “running out of energy.” Klopp has been Liverpool manager since 2015 and is under contract until 2026, but, in an announcement via the club's media channel, he revealed that he will resign two years early. Klopp said he had told the owners in November of his intention to leave. “I can understand it being a shock to a lot of people at the moment, when you hear it for the first time,” Klopp said. “I love absolutely everything about this club, I love everything about the city, I love everything about our fans, I love the team, I love the staff. I love everything. But the fact that I still make this decision shows that I am convinced that it is the one I have to make.”
