Why is Jurgen Klopp leaving Liverpool?

Jurgen Klopp has revealed that he is leaving Liverpool because he is out of energy. He wants a top manager who can help the club continue to strive to replace him.

Speaking to the club's website today, Klopp said:

"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. But that I still take this decision shows you that I am convinced it is the one I have to take."

He added:

"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. After the years we had together and after all the time we spent together and after all the things we went through together, the respect grew for you, the love grew for you and the least I owe you is the truth – and that is the truth."

Klopp has confirmed that he will not be joining any club soon and is taking a break from being a manager. He has also revealed that he will never take charge of another club in England other than Liverpool.
