Jurgen Klopp’s decision to quit Liverpool, according to Thierry Henry, is a good thing if the German decided to look after himself.
Jurgen Klopp, the iconic Reds boss will leave at the end of the season, nearly nine years after taking over at Anfield in October 2015.
The 56-year-old stated, “I am, how can I say it, running out of energy” when announcing the decision last month. Naturally, I have no issues at all right now. I have known for a while that I will eventually need to make an announcement, but for now, everything is perfect. I am aware that I am unable to complete the task repeatedly.
“I’m fine,” As far as being healthy at my age is concerned, I am. Small details, things of that nature, but nothing to worry about for anyone, so that’s good too.
If Klopp feels that the work is too draining for him, Henry, who started his own management career and is presently in charge of the France Under-21 team, thinks the manager made the correct decision.
Henry wished Klopp well in a message on CBS Sports.
Pep took a year off while he was at Barcelona. Klopp is stopping at Liverpool. Xavi is at Barcelona and he’s going to stop too. Three outstanding clubs.
Normally, that would be a fantastic job, but they are quitting. That conveys a narrative. The pressure, social media, and other things; everyone has a voice.
“Being a manager is difficult, and nobody seems to care about you.” At some point, you will need to look after yourself.
I get that it’s great for the supporters and all those involved, including the press, but try not to focus just on yourself and consider how much the Premier League and Liverpool will miss Klopp.
“We are aware of that; it is true.” However, he was longing for his loved ones, his solitude, and his sense of clarity. Excellent for him. Upon hearing the news, my first thought was, “Well done.”
Bookmakers still have former Reds midfielder Xabi Alonso as their favourite to succeed Klopp in the summer, with his Bayer Leverkusen team leading the Bundesliga at the moment.
Other contenders are Sporting manager Ruben Amorim and Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi, who is now Anfield Pep Lijnders’ deputy manager.
