Liverpool football club manager, Jurgen Klopp will leave the club at the end of the 2023/2024 season.
Klopp has been with Liverpool since 2015, winning the UEFA Champions League for the club and also ending their 30-year wait for a League title.
He arrived at the club on October 8, 2015, agreeing a three-year deal to become Liverpool’s manager, replacing Brendan Rodgers.
In his first press conference at the club, Klopp described Liverpool saying, “it is not a normal club, it is a special club. I had two very special clubs with Mainz and Dortmund. It is the perfect next step for me to be here and try and help” and stating his intention to deliver trophies within four years.
Klopp guided Liverpool to their first Champions League final since 2007 in 2018 after a 5–1 aggregate quarter-final win against eventual Premier League champions, Manchester City and a 7–6 aggregate win over Italian side, AS Roma in the semi-final.
However, Liverpool went on to lose in the final 3–1 to Real Madrid.
Liverpool, however, enjoyed a vintage run in the 2018–19 UEFA Champions League.
Liverpool won their quarter-final tie against Porto with an aggregate score of 6–1 to advance to the semi-finals, where Klopp’s Liverpool faced tournament favourites, FC Barcelona.
After suffering a 3–0 defeat at the Nou Camp, Klopp reportedly asked his players to just try or fail in the most beautiful way in the second leg of the tie at Liverpool’s ground, Anfield.
In the second leg, Klopp’s side overturned the deficit with a 4–0 win, advancing to the final 4–3 on aggregate, despite Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino being absent with injuries, in what was described as one of the greatest comebacks in Champions League history.
In the final at the Metropolitano Stadium in Madrid against Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool won 2–0 with goals from Salah and Divock Origi, despite only having 39 percent possession over the course of the game, giving Klopp his first trophy with Liverpool, his first Champions League title, and the club’s sixth European Cup/Champions League title overall.
Also in the 2019/2020 season, Klopp won Liverpool’s first Premier League title for the club, a first league trophy win for the club in 30 years as well.
