Jurgen Klopp hints that he will leave Liverpool at the end of his contract

Liverpool FC v Arsenal FC - Premier League

Jurgen Klopp has proven that he is one of the best managers in the world by pulling Liverpool out of a rut and making them the champions of Europe. As his Reds continue to dominate English football, the manager has revealed that he might leave the club at the end of his current contract which runs till 2022.

He said,

"It looks like it. Who can now say if he can give it his all in three years' time? If I decide for myself that I can't go on anymore, I'll take a break and in that year I'd have to make a definite decision [over my career].

"I have absolute energy, but I have one problem; I can't do 'a little bit.' I can only do 'all or nothing.' But the chances are very high that my energy levels will go up again [after a year's break], and that I can then do the job the way I want to."
