The German strategist assumed control of Liverpool in October 2015, succeeding Brendan Rodgers. During his tenure on Merseyside, Klopp has overseen victories in the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup, Carabao Cup, UEFA Super Cup, and FIFA Club World Cup.

Klopp has recently disclosed his intention to step down at the conclusion of the 2023-24 season, conveying to Liverpool’s official platform: “I can understand that it’s a shock for a lot of people in this moment when you hear it for the first time, but obviously I can explain it – or at least try to explain it. I love absolutely everything about this club, I love everything about the city, I love everything about our supporters, I love the team, I love the staff. I love everything. But that I still take this decision shows you that I am convinced it is the one I have to take.

While Klopp’s contract was set to expire in 2026, he informed Liverpool of his departure in November, citing a gradual realization of his future. Reflecting on the previous season’s challenges, Klopp emphasized his commitment to steering the team back on course. He expressed gratitude for the opportunity to contribute to the team’s resurgence, which prompted introspection about his own future.

With over 460 matches under his belt and a winning record of 60.7%, Klopp’s legacy at Liverpool is assured. He stands among the club’s managerial greats alongside Bill Shankly and Bob Paisley. As Liverpool’s 2024 squad remains in contention for Premier League, Carabao Cup, FA Cup, and Europa League honours, Klopp’s departure marks the end of an era filled with triumphs and memorable moments.
