Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is one of the top coaches in the world of sports, judging by his recent track record. The German coach has now won a Premier League title and a Champions League crown with the Reds over the past two seasons, and he recently signed a contract extension that will keep him in town through 2024.

However, according to a recent interview with German newspaper Bild, Klopp doesn’t have any plans to stick around in Liverpool after his current contract runs out.

This would mean that the German manager would have four seasons left at Liverpool, after which he would step down and re-evaluate his options for the future.

Klopp has publicly stated that his plan is to take a year off from soccer when he leaves the Liverpool job. Speculation has run rampant that he could choose to coach the German national team after his one-year hiatus.

While no one has a crystal ball, if the manager’s recent words come true, he certainly won’t be sticking around in England past 2024. What happens next is up to him, and will come after a year away from the game.

For now, Klopp will look to add to his already-impressive trophy case with Liverpool and continue working hard to make his club’s fans’ dreams come true.
