After a noteworthy run from drought to glory, Jurgen Klopp is ready to pack his bag from Liverpool after the current season’s conclusion. The manager proved his mettle this season by making a strong comeback to the Premier League, regaining the #1 spot. Nevertheless, understanding the welfare of both the club and him, he acknowledged that it was a “shock for a lot of people.” But irrespective of whether Klopp gains victory this year or not, his call ‘is admirable.’

The view was given recently by a Scottish pundit who has seen a journey from barrenness to fruit. Liverpool had been hanging without a Premier League trophy since its inception in 1992 until they won it under the German master in 2020. But even the best have their limits, and so does Klopp.

Jurgen Klopp lauded for his honesty after announcing his club’s exit

Soccer can drain out even the best of the best. Pep Guardiola recently lashed out at FIFA and UEFA for their packed schedules. However, Jurgen Klopp choosing another to deal with his burnout was hailed by former Chelsea player Craig Burley. Speaking to ESPN FC, Burley said, “I think it’s admirable.” “And I totally understand it, that it’s constant these days. And I think we’ve been preaching on about schedules for players. But it’s not just the players; it’s the managers and the support staff.”

Klopp joined Liverpool in October 2015, and since then, the German boss has had to formulate a lot of strategies. The former Borussia Dortmund manager built the Reds from scratch with a moderate squad. Additionally, the manager did not have the luxury of spending huge chunks like the other big six clubs. Klopp with Liverpool has been regarded as having the least net spend compared to rivals, which is approximately $322.8 million.

Nevertheless, the 56-year-old succeeded in signing players like Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah, who were instrumental in their league title campaign. The exiting Liverpool coach envisioned his title achievement immediately after arriving, but continuing it for more than nine years was too much for the boss to take.

Last season’s disappointment one of the main reasons for Klopp’s exit

Last season was one of the worst in Klopp’s tenure at Merseyside. Liverpool finished 5th in the Premier League. This meant that they could not qualify for the UEFA Champions League for the first time since Jurgen Klopp joined. Hence, rebuilding this season might have added to the energy depletion that Klopp was talking about.
