“I’m running out of energy“, were Jurgen Klopp’s words as he heartbreakingly announced his imminent exit from Liverpool. Burnout has been one of the major issues in sports for a very long time. And the lack of awareness, including the notion of being judged negatively, has kept people away from taking care of their mental health. Days after Klopp’s resignation, Pep Guardiola opened up about how he tackles fatigue from their common profession and highlighted the importance of simply taking time off and trusting the support staff.

Guardiola is used to a lot of grinds on and off the pitch. From creating game strategies to answering media, he knows how to handle it well, and he recently chose to give out his hack. In a press conference, he said, “I try. I have incredible staff that support me and do the job that sometimes I’m tired to do after many years. I am more quality manager. I select better the timing to work the timing to disconnect a little bit.” When asked about sustaining energy for 8 years, Pep Guardiola further revealed how he tackles it.

The Manchester City boss, who already revealed getting good support from the staff, also receives the needed resources from the upper management. And after all, the already-existing winning form also helps. Pep Guardiola continued by saying that “winning games helps you to have energy; when you are losing games, you are more tired,” along with watching his team being stoic and repeatedly improving. He also said, “Energy is not switched on; switch off. You have to reinstall and re-energize every day.”

Pep Guardiola’s off-the-field activities and mindset to tackling stress

Meanwhile, according to his approach, Pep Guardiola takes time off the game, unlike his early days at FC Barcelona. He further revealed, “I’m able to stay on the sofa watching something on TV and don’t think about football, and that helps me. Before, it was all the time thinking, ‘Oh, I’m missing something, or I’m not professional enough’. I understood that is a mistake, and it’s better to have quality.”

On the other side, Jurgen Klopp has decided to quit Liverpool after nine years. However, Klopp had a longer stint in his managerial career and different circumstances at Liverpool than Pep Guardiola. The German had to develop a team of poor form with limited resources and turn it into one of the best in England. Klopp was the only one to give Pep Guardiola a run for his money consistently and looks like the Spanish coach will miss this rivalry too.
