Jürgen Klopp has announced his decision to step down as Liverpool manager at the end of the current season.
The coach informed the club’s owners of his wish to leave his position when the 2023-24 campaign comes to a close.
After guiding the Reds to another Wembley final on Wednesday night, the 56-year-old will continue to oversee the team’s remaining fixtures of 2023-24 before bringing the curtain down on a glorious eight-and-a-half-year managerial reign at Anfield.
Under Klopp’s guidance, Liverpool lifted the UEFA Champions League, Premier League, FIFA Club World Cup, FA Cup, League Cup, UEFA Super Cup, and the FA Community Shield.
Assistant managers Pepijn Lijnders and Peter Krawietz, as well as elite development coach Vitor Matos, will also vacate their positions at the end of the season, with Lijnders keen to pursue his own career in management.
Confirming his decision to the media, Klopp outlined the reasons behind it and the timing of the announcement.
