Jürgen Klopp will leave Liverpool FC at the end of the season. The football world reacted promptly to the news.
Liverpool FC’s star players have initially reacted calmly to the announcement of their coach Jürgen Klopp’s resignation. “The players didn’t ask much. We have a strong connection, we are professionals,” Klopp reported during a press conference on Friday afternoon. He had previously announced that he would terminate his contract, which was actually valid until mid-2026, at the end of the season.

Letting the players and fans know was the most important thing for Klopp. “The players are in a good mood, it was just an announcement,” said the former Bundesliga professional from FSV Mainz 05 and Borussia Dortmund.
The situation cannot be compared, for example, with a coach being fired. “I’m 100 percent here,” said Klopp, looking ahead to the coming months and the sporting challenges.
