Jurgen Klopp has announced he is leaving Liverpool at the end of the season.
Klopp, who will hold a press conference on Friday, has explained he is “running out of energy”.
“I will leave the club at the end of the season,” Klopp said in an emotional video posted by Liverpool. “I understand that it’s a shock.”
Klopp confirmed he had told the club’s bosses about his intention to stand down back in November last year.
“When we sat there together talking about potential signings, the next summer camp and can we go wherever, the thought came up, ‘I am not sure I am here then anymore’ and I was surprised myself by that. I obviously start thinking about it.”
Former Liverpool midfielder and current Bayer Leverkusen boss Xabi Alonso has been installed as the early frontrunner to replace Klopp.
