Jurgen Klopp’s departure from Anfield

Transcript

00:00 He never knew what the Premier League was about and he joined Liverpool.

00:07 I think all the players took to him, stood to him as soon as he walked in.

00:12 On the whole I think he's been good for the club.

00:15 He's certainly shifted the divide between Liverpool and Manchester United.

00:21 He's been a very good boss manager for Liverpool and he's done a good job.

00:28 The bus was getting crowded early afternoon and then two Germans got on board.

00:35 They were talking to the driver about getting to Anfield.

00:38 They wanted to get to Anfield just for the sheer pleasure of looking at it.

00:42 I thought maybe there was a match on today but no, they wanted to look at it.

00:45 To these two Germans from Cologne in south-west Germany, Anfield was an icon.

00:54 He's earned his stripes. On the whole he's done the club a lot of good.

01:03 In January Jürgen Klopp announced the bombshell news that he would be departing from Anfield at the end of the season.

01:11 The 54-year-old spent the past eight and a half years on Merseyside,

01:15 guiding Liverpool to six major trophies including the Champions League and Premier League.

01:20 The reason for his departure? Klopp said he's running out of energy after 24 years in management

01:26 and will leave the Reds despite having two years left on his contract.

01:30 Although it's not clear what the future holds for the German, he's ruled out managing another English club.

01:36 I just hope for good luck in the future and hopefully he fits with Liverpool again.

01:42 Jürgen Klopp has done a great job for Liverpool.

01:45 It's a shame that he's leaving, that he hasn't won silverware at the moment.

01:50 But, to be the goal, to be in the championship or the European next year.

01:56 He's done a great job for Liverpool. All the best Jürgen!
