Klopp will now take a break from leadership and said he will not manage either club or country for at least a year. He also said that he would never manage any club in England other than Liverpool.

“I can understand that it is a shock for many people at this moment when you hear it for the first time, but of course I can explain it or at least try to explain it,” Klopp said in a video statement released by Liverpool.

“I love absolutely everything about this club, I love everything about the city, I love everything about our fans, I love the team, I love the staff. I love everything. But the fact that I'm making this decision anyway shows that I'm convinced.” It's what I have to take.

“It's like, how shall I put it, I'm running out of energy. I don't have a problem now, of course I've known for a while that I'll have to announce it at some point, but I'm completely fine now.” I know I can't do the job over and over again.

He added: “If you ask me now, will I ever be able to do it again? I would say no. But of course you don't know because I've never had this situation. But I definitely know that I will never manage another club in England other than Liverpool. That's impossible.

“I'll find something else to do. But I won’t manage a club or a country for at least a year.”

In an emotional statement, Klopp said he owed Liverpool fans an explanation as to why he was stepping down now. He said it was a difficult decision but also felt “relief” when he made it, saying it was the right moment for him to try a “normal life” and see if he was missing management .

“It would be cool if you could accept my decision as difficult but right,” Klopp said. “I need to find another purpose and look for it.”

“I told the club back in November,” he added. “I have to explain a little bit that the job I do may be seen from the outside: I'm on the sidelines and in training sessions and things like that, but most things happen around those types of things. This.” That means that a season starts and you’re pretty much already planning the next season.

“As we sat together and talked about possible new signings, the next summer camp and whether we could go somewhere, the thought occurred to me: 'Then I'm not sure if I'm here anymore,' and that surprised even me . I naturally start thinking about it.

“It didn’t start [then]but of course last season was somehow a super difficult season and there were moments where at other clubs the decision would probably have been: “Come on, thanks for everything, but we should probably part ways here or end it here.” ' That obviously didn't happen here.

“It was super, super, super important to me that I could help get this team back on its feet. That's all I thought about. Once I realized pretty early on that this was happening, it's a really good team with huge potential and a great age group, great characters and stuff, then I was able to start thinking about myself again and that was the result. That's not what I want [do]it’s exactly what I 100% believe is right.”

“We are Liverpool, we have been through harder things together. And you've been through harder things before me. Let's make it a strength. That would be really cool. Let's get the most out of this season and have another reason to smile as we look back to the future.
