Jurgen Klopp has confirmed that his plan is still to leave Liverpool at the end of his current deal in 2024. The German has completely turned things around for the club, and has returned them to their status as one of the best teams in the country.
‘If I have the energy levels for it is important,’ said Klopp. ‘I love what I do but there must be something else out there in the world apart form always thinking about very well-skilled, good looking, fantastically nice players! But I really don’t think about it.
‘I’m full of energy but I have to make sure that is the case (in the future). I don’t want to sit around and be more tired and think, “Wow! Why is everyone bothered about the things out there because I couldn’t care less?” ’
Klopp talks about life after Liverpool
‘I was 20 years nearly working in Germany but I never thought: “Oh my God! We are perfect, we should bring all that stuff to other countries!” No, just doing the right things, employing the right people in the right positions.
‘It doesn’t mean you win the title. It means you have the right people for the right job. That’s what we try and these people — a lot of them here at the moment — will be good. It will be fine whenever it will be after I leave. The plan is 2024, thank you very much.’
By the time Klopp leaves in 2024, he will have become the longest serving manager for Liverpool since Bob Paisley. He ended the Reds’ 30-year long wait for a Premier League title by securing it in the 19/20 season after winning the Champions League.
