"As a director, there was no personal life for 'Klopp"

The master's honest confession is a big shock. He also made a shocking declaration that he would no longer continue his career as a coach who was at the end of the game and pushed himself to the limit. It is no longer expected to see the title 'Jurgen Klopp. I don't think I'm going to be directing anymore for a 'normal life'.

British media The Sun reported on the 30th (Korean time) that former Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp left a hint that he would never return as a coach again.




Based on former coach Klopp's interview with German media Bild, the media reported that he was under extreme stress when he was in the manager's position, and he felt skeptical about his increasing distance from his normal life. In an interview with Bild, Klopp made a shocking remark, saying, `The director's position has gradually moved me away from my normal and normal life.'

He then said "The job of being a director led me too far away. It was no longer a normal life"There was no 'I' in it. Now I think of myself first. It may be a silly story, but now I've stopped doing what I've always wanted to do.'

He then said "As a director 'Klopp' there was no such thing as a personal life. My car only knew three places, the stadium, the training ground and the house" he said.




Klopp, who was appointed as Liverpool manager of the English Premier League (EPL) in October 2015 after playing for Mainz and Dortmund, is a legendary coach who transformed Liverpool, which had been struggling with sluggishness, into the most prestigious club in the EPL. He led the team to its first EPL victory since its foundation in the 2019-2020 season, and later swept the UEFA Champions League (2018-2019) and the English Football Association (FA) Cup (2021-2022).

Then, in January 2024, Klopp said he would step down as manager after the end of this season" made a shocking declaration. Although the contract period remained, he said he would put down the Liverpool baton on the grounds of 'burnout'. And actually kept his word. After giving Liverpool the Carabao Cup as a final farewell gift, he left the team.

Since then, former coach Klopp has continued his relationship with the soccer community by taking over the global football division general manager at the Red Bull Football Group in October last year.




However, even after stepping down from his current position, his request for a supervisory position still continued. Even the specific team name appeared. In April, it was reported in Spain that Carlo Ancelotti would be in charge of Real Madrid after leaving. Klopp denied.

In May, Italian media La Stampa also reported that former Liverpool coach Klopp agreed to take over as AS Roma coach. His agent then immediately denied 'The report that Klopp will become AS Roma's new manager is not true' Klopp himself also "I don't go to Rome. It's all just a rumor"I drew the line once again.

Klopp is now definitely determined not to return to football as a coach. He "I don't want to be a director anymore. Now I have a job that satisfies me and makes me intense. "My wife is really satisfied as well." "In his managerial career, he played about 1,200 games including friendly matches. I think this is enough. I want to live a different life."

It's the same intensity statement that drew a line on the line "I don't go to Rome" about going to AS Rome. Former coach Klopp is not a person who reverses what he said. Therefore, he was able to reign as a "legendary director". He won't be on the pitch again with 'Director'.
