After leaving Borussia Dortmund in 2015, Jurgen Klopp took only a few months break before becoming the manager of Liverpool. Next time when he becomes unemployed, however, Klopp plans to take a different approach.
In a recent chat with Germany’s Kicker magazine, Klopp said that he would take a long break when his time with Liverpool comes to an end.
“If I decide for myself that I can’t go on anymore, I’ll take a break, and in that year I’d have to make a definite decision [if he wants to continue at all].” – Klopp told Kicker. “I have absolute energy, but I have one problem: I can’t to ‘a little bit.’ I can only do ‘all or nothing.'”
“But the chances are very high that my energy levels will go up again [after a year’s break], and that I can then do the job the way I want to,” – he added.
Klopp’s contract with Liverpool runs until the summer of 2022, and this is when the 52-year-old might decide to take the discussed break. This possibility isn’t anything new, as ESPN reported back in June that the German manager is considering this scenario.
Since joining Liverpool in 2015, Jurgen Klopp managed to reestablish the club as one of the best in Europe. Last season was the club’s best under Klopp, as Liverpool won the Champions League and finished second in Premier League standings.
