Klopp's reasons for leaving Liverpool
Without a doubt, Klopp will go down in history as one of the coaches who left a mark of glory in Liverpool. In his statements he stated that “in an ideal world I would not have said anything to anyone until the end of the season, winning everything and then saying goodbye. That is not possible.”
The outside world wants to take advantage of this decision, laugh at it, wants to bother us. We are Liverpool, we have been through more difficult things together.
He added that “in the world we live in, it is not possible to keep these kinds of things secret; Maybe it's a surprise that we've been able to keep it [en secreto] until now. There are so many things that are influenced by it, especially personal situations. “My staff people need to know in advance, and especially the club needs to know in advance and plan.”

Over the years, my role was quite dominant. It wasn't intentional, but it happened. There were many times when I wished I never had to do that again.

But in the end I have to do it because one thing I'm really convinced of is that if you have to make a decision like that, it's better to do it a little earlier than a little late.”
Regarding whether this decision will affect the club in the remainder of the campaign, where it is aspiring to win all the titles in dispute, the coach responded that there are so many things to play for and “there may be some external ideas that disturb what we are doing.” doing, but it's all about us.
“The way we've grown together over the last few years is absolutely exceptional. Absolutely exceptional. SI've always said it, and especially now it's still true: nothing has to happen because of me. Now no one has to make games about me – please don't, if I can ask it would be very nice – and we just support each other,” he said.
