Klopp, who arrived at Anfield in October 2015, returned Liverpool to European glory, winning the Champions League in 2019, and domestic success, winning their first league title in 30 years in 2020, as well as winning an FA Cup, League Cup, European Super Cup and Club World Cup.

"I'm running out of energy," Klopp said in an interview with club media in which he explained the reasons for his departure. "I don't have any problems, obviously. I knew I would have to announce it at some point, it's all good, but I know I can't do this job over and over again." Klopp even revealed that he told the board about his possible departure in November when they started planning for next season and said to himself, "I don't know if I will be here next year." In the end, the manager decided to end his time at Anfield this year.
