Former Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp surprised soccer fans. Klopp may no longer be seen as a leader.
Klopp recently announced that he would retire at an international coaching conference in Würzburg, Germany.
He said "As of today, I'm done as a manager. I didn't decide on a whim. It's a serious decision. I have already coached the best clubs in the world"He said he would retire.
It's a surprising decision. Klopp is currently classified as the world's best master along with Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola and Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti. Even after coming down from the position of Liverpool head coach, numerous offers of recruitment were made.
Coach Klopp, who put all his energy into Liverpool, rejected all offers, saying he wanted a sabbatical and wanted to take at least a year off. All football fans were expecting Klopp to return after a sabbatical, when he abruptly announced his retirement.
Many big clubs, including Bayern Munich as well as the German national soccer team, have waited for Klopp's sabbatical to end, and everyone is surprised by the sudden decision to retire. Coach Klopp has had a tremendous career in Dortmund and Liverpool, winning two German Bundesliga titles, one English Premier League (EPL) title and one UEFA Champions League title. In 2019 and 2020, he was named FIFA Coach of the Year.
However, Klopp also left a clue that he could reverse his decision at any time. He "Maybe in a few months we can talk again. I still want to work in football. I want to help people based on my experience and connections. Let's see what happens to me." He also showed his willingness to continue working in the soccer world.
Regarding Klopp's remarks, some speculate that he no longer intends to return to soccer as a leader. Regarding Klopp's remarks, ESPN reported that `The source said that Klopp may have chosen not to return to the soccer world as a leader.'
Coach Klopp once explained why he was exhausted whenever he left Dortmund and Liverpool. He must have been under great stress from pouring out too much for the success of his team. Since Klopp is also a very family person, he may have decided not to return to the soccer world to focus on his family in the future.
