Upon being questioned about his future, Jurgen Klopp replied, “I have a contract until 2026 with Liverpool and I want to fulfill it.” The manager went on to explain his plan stating, “(I’ll) then take a sabbatical year. It could be the end, but who knows how I will feel after a year? That’s why I leave the door open.” In essence, Klopp flirted with the media that Liverpool could be the last club that the German will manage, and could retire.
When shedding more light on his plan, the Liverpool head coach stated, “I would like to travel a lot, not only when they push me in a wheelchair or when I walk with a cane. I can watch football from anywhere. That’s why I won’t do the job forever.” It is evident that Jurgen will prefer a break after his tenure at Liverpool.
