Jürgen Klopp’s contract with Liverpool FC runs until 2024. For the time after that, the charismatic coach can also imagine not coaching a football team at all.

Jürgen Klopp does not rule out the end of his coaching career after the end of his contract in summer 2024. “I’ll take a year off and ask myself if I miss football. If I say no, then it was with the coach Jürgen Klopp,” said the championship coach of Liverpool FC in an interview with “Sportbuzzer”.

Klopp has been a trainer at Anfield Road since 2015. That year he led Liverpool to their first championship in 30 years after winning the Champions League with the Reds the previous year. “We’re not defending any titles, we want to get new ones, we’ve only just started winning,” announced Klopp with a view to the new season. “The whole club is hot for the new season, wants to do it even better. We want to chase the opponents and the ball over the entire field, and continue to be a super unpleasant team that is not fun to kick.”

During the worst phase of the corona pandemic, however, football was not important. “My thoughts were not about our title, but about Corona, about the many dead and sick. About the people who toil around the clock in hospitals. About people who feared for their existence or who have lost them,” said Klopp, which attested the German Football League a pioneering role when it returned to match operations.

In the interview, Klopp also talks about his development from second division footballer to today’s world-class coach: “I was a limited second division footballer. In terms of attitude, I was first division, in terms of talent fourth. The result was the second. I was very good at reading a game and already had sensational ideas about what fantastic things I am about to do with the ball. But the way from head to legs was not just a long one for me. ”
