Liverpool FC head coach Jurgen Klopp will step down at the end of the season, the BBC reports. He worked as a coach for 9 years, and his departure was a heavy blow for Liverpool fans.
Here’s how Jurgen Klopp commented on his departure: “I love absolutely everything about the club; everything connected with the city; everything related to our fans. I love the team. But this should just let you know how confident I am in my decision. I can’t do the job over and over again. After everything we’ve been through together, the least I owe you is the truth. And the truth is this”.
Mourinho has left his post as head coach of Roma. Who will replace him?

It sounds very abstract, so the first thing that comes to mind is the coach’s fatigue. But this is only a superficial glance. If you dig a little deeper and follow the evolution of football over 10 years, you can see how phenomenally the workload has grown.
The number of matches has increased exponentially, and the profession has begun to involve a completely different level of media exposure, so being a coach of an elite club means completely devoting yourself to work and giving up other aspects of life. You can live in this mode for a year, but how to live at this pace for even 5 years is completely unclear. It’s worth giving credit to Jurgen Klopp: he lasted 10. And it wasn’t easy to hold out, but he was able to turn Liverpool into one of the best teams in Europe.
Jurgen Klopp joined Liverpool in 2015. It was a difficult time for the club. The results of the games were depressing; it seemed that Liverpool would forever remain somewhere at the bottom of the standings without significant achievements.
However, Jurgen Klopp managed to radically change the situation. Under his leadership, in the 2019/2020 season the club won the English Championship for the first time since 1990. Also in 2019, together with Klopp, the club won the Champions League, UEFA Super Cup and Club World Cup. From underdogs, albeit with a rich history, Liverpool have turned into favorites with great ambitions.

This means that it will not be easy for the club’s management to find a worthy replacement for Klopp. The fans love him and he has a great relationship with the players. This person has become part of the club and it will be very difficult to find someone like that.
Sports journalists see several possible candidates for the role of the future head coach of Liverpool. For example:
- Antonio Conte. The Italian coach is currently unemployed after leaving Tottenham last season;
- Diego Simeone. The hot-tempered coach from Argentina is famous for his good results. He has led Atlético Madrid since 2011, but may change jobs next season;
- Luis Enrique. This coach has little chance, because he only recently became the coach of PSG and is unlikely to decide to change the club so quickly;
- Ange Postecoglou. The coach works real miracles and shows excellent results, but is unlikely to leave his club by next season.
In general, there are candidates, but what decision the club’s management will make is still unclear. We can only hope that whatever it is, Liverpool will continue to show consistently strong performances.
