Jürgen Klopp explains himself in an interview broadcast in a 25-minute video published by Liverpool. He reveals in particular that he made the decision to leave the club in November: “I’m doing well. I’m in good health, as much as possible at my age. There are little things, things like that, but nothing that should worry whoever it is, so that’s very good. I already said it to the club in November.”
“In an ideal world I wouldn’t have said anything to anyone until the end of the season, won everything and said goodbye. That’s not possible. In the world we live in , it is not possible to keep this sort of thing secret; perhaps it is a surprise that we have been able to keep this secret until now. There are so many things that are influenced by this, especially the personal matters. My staff members must be informed in time, and the club in particular must be informed in time and plan.”
“The message to the fans: I would really like you to accept the decision. That would be good. (…) Let’s make it a strength. Let’s make the most of this season and have another reason to smile when we look back. Thank you”.
