Q & A
How long has Jurgen Klopp been at Liverpool?
-Jurgen Klopp has been at Liverpool for nearly nine years. He was appointed Liverpool manager in October 2015.
What has Jurgen Klopp achieved during his time at Liverpool?
-Klopp has won the Premier League, Champions League, UEFA Super Cup, FIFA Club World Cup, FA Cup and League Cup during his time at Liverpool. He has overseen a very successful period for the club.
Why is Jurgen Klopp so popular with Liverpool fans?
-Klopp is very passionate, charismatic and has a great rapport with Liverpool fans. He celebrates wildly after wins and embraces the players. His outgoing personality and success at the club have made him hugely popular.
Why has Klopp decided to leave Liverpool?
-Klopp said he is 'running on empty' and no longer has the energy required to manage Liverpool. After over 7 years, the demands of management have taken their toll, so he has decided to take a break.
Who could replace Klopp as Liverpool manager?
-Early favorites include Xabi Alonso and Roberto Martinez. Alonso knows Liverpool well from his playing days, while Martinez has Premier League experience. An outsider could be Eddie Howe after his work at Newcastle.
What condition will Liverpool be in for the new manager?
-Liverpool are in excellent shape to challenge for more trophies. They top the Premier League and are still in domestic and European cup competitions, so the new manager will inherit a very strong squad.
Could Liverpool struggle after Klopp leaves?
-There is a risk of disruption, like when Sir Alex Ferguson left Manchester United. However, Liverpool are in better shape on and off the pitch, so should be able to cope with the change in manager.
Will the Liverpool players be affected by Klopp's departure?
-Losing such a charismatic manager will likely upset the Liverpool squad initially. However, Klopp has put structures in place for long-term success. The players will need to adapt to the new manager's style.
What kind of manager could replace Klopp?
-Liverpool need someone just as passionate and demanding as Klopp to maintain the high standards. An ex-Liverpool player like Alonso fits the profile and would earn respect from the squad.
What will Klopp do after he leaves Liverpool?
-Klopp plans to take an extended break after his Liverpool departure. In the future, he may move into international management, but he's unlikely to manage another English club.
Outlines
🏆 Klopp's impact as manager and hole he leaves at Liverpool
Klopp has been at Liverpool for 9 years and been a huge character and figurehead. He has brought silverware, improved the squad, and connected deeply with fans and players. His departure leaves a massive hole and Liverpool need to find the right successor.
😴 Klopp's decision to leave on his own terms to reenergize
Klopp's decision makes sense after a long tenure to recharge and spend time with family. His departure is well-timed with Liverpool currently a successful squad. The job requires immense energy to lift spirits and he likely realized he can't sustain it forever.
❓ Potential candidates to replace Klopp as manager
Alonso seems a top choice given his Liverpool links and success at Sociedad. His lack of experience could be outweighed by affinity with the club. Howe and Pep Lijnders also discussed as options, but Alonso seems best equipped to continue Klopp's style.

Transcripts
when leel have been there for for nearly
nine years he's been the figurehead the
face of the club for all that time how
big a hole is he going to leave at
anfield oh massive absolutely huge um I
think you only have to watch and see
what club does uh and what it brings to
Liverpool the football club you know I
think I think everyone yesterday felt
really like we'd lost someone which we
have in the Premier League because he's
been a character he's had a great
rapport with the fans the players you
only need to see him after games his
passion uh his smile his glasses his
hats you know them them teeth that
always seem to come out um because he's
so happy and you know he's there's not
many characters that are left in the
game and and and young klopp's
definitely one of them um I think you
only have to look at what he's actually
done at the football club he's bought
silverware which I think you know you're
going to a football club of that stature
and and you have to produce you have to
get the numbers right and that's what
he's done I mean you know he's it's
going to be a massive loss for the
football club and how they replace him
is well I mean I think they could bring
and actually bring anyone into the
football club I think that job being
available um who would not want to go in
and inherit that football club and that
Squad of players that that's available
come the end of the season because it's
some big boots to F particularly that
they've got the quad possibly that they
could go and win um and then you have
ask yourself someone's got to come in
and replicate that again so the pressure
is going to be on um it's not only klopp
it's the back staff that have obviously
that are going to lead the club as well
sporting director and people like that
that you know manufacturer take the club
forward so it's massive and it's a
massive loss for the premier league and
Liverpool you see the you know the
Social Media stuff that fans are they're
devastated I'm sure the players are too
yeah I mean we'll look forward and see
who might take over for him in a bit but
just looking back it's worth just
reminding ourselves of of what he's
achieved in those eight and a half years
at Liverpool and why he is loved by
those Liverpool fans Prem PR League
title FA Cup and League Cup in the same
season the Champions League Of course
along with those you wa for super cups
and FIFA Club World Cups personal
accolades nine Premier League managers
of the month two manager of the years I
mean it's seriously impressive Clinton
when you think back to Liverpool
managers over the years and I guess the
Premier League a as a whole where do you
rank him listen there's been a lot of
top um Quality Liverpool managers it's
it's difficult to rank him one thing I
know for sure is as hendo said he'll be
missed he's a character I like managers
that are characters you're always going
to get different kind of man um
characters listen i' would have love to
have played for a manager like Jurgen
Club because I think he could get the
best out of players you can see every
time he's celebrating he kicks every
ball he's involved in everything and not
every manager is like that because if
you look probably at Pep Guardiola
sometimes he's not he's a bit different
so they they are different managers but
he's a superb manager and he's done
everything at Liverpool I was surprised
though when I I was at home yesterday
and someone said have you heard the news
I was like what do you mean there's
nothing nothing no news ain't broke cuz
I was watching something car and they
said ygen CL leaving and I obviously
couldn't believe it absolutely was
stunned to be fair with the news that
Jurgen Club he will be missed because I
think he's a character and we want the
best managers in the Premier League but
he thinks the time's right for him but
you can see look what look what he's
done and he's his win percentage there
at Liverpool 62% it's fantastic to be
fair and you know what he does jws they
bring players to that football club and
they improve players if you look at
someone like one of their best signings
they've made Andy Robinson look how good
he is when he left ho and he's gone
there and he's been a fantastic player
so huge credit must go to ygen Club he
will be missed and the big news is
really you were at home on a day off and
weren't working I me that's that's the
big story he working last night was he
of course he was but no listen listen no
no I'm not moving on you can't throw
that at me and I was busy I was I was I
was busy I was um I was just chilling I
can't believe you I had no
comeback Gary I mean most managers get
told when it's time to go don't they um
this is his decision he leaves on his
terms you know all about the demands of
management do you empathize with him
when he says he's running out of energy
he just needs a break yeah I think when
you've been anywhere for a long time I
think the you know particularly when
you're a really emotional manager like
Jurgen klopp you know when he almost you
know gives himself completely you know
in terms of that energy that he creates
with the players with the fans and and
and when you're having to do that every
single Monday morning you go in and
you've got to lift the place if you've
lost you've got to lift players that
have not been in the team you've got to
have those difficult conversations every
time with players if they're not in a
team who you've supported and you want
to um be successful and even just
looking at these moments the energy
required just you know think about these
moments and then 30 minutes later when
you're sat in the dressing room having
time to think and and I don't think you
can do that forever you know I think
every club's different but when you've
been at a club for as long as he had I
mean he was seven years at mine seven
years at Dortmund and now you know eight
years at Liverpool or whatever it is so
you can understand at some point you
need to make that decision to walk away
and re-energize and also spend time with
your family because people don't realize
like it's your family that end up
suffering don't see a lot of you which
in in my family's case is probably a
positive um but I don't see a lot of you
and you're up and down the motorway and
and even when you're in conversations
you know or you're watching a school
play you're thinking about your team and
you're thinking about those
conversations and and it is all
consuming so so I can understand I'm
slightly surpris I think last year would
have been a little bit of a Prelude to
it I'm sure there have been times last
year when he maybe felt you know this is
the right thing to do but maybe it's not
the right timing and I'd rather go out
when the team are at least on top and
and a and a better reflection of what
yur Jurgen klopp has produced at
Liverpool which is a successful team
over the years yeah and obviously he
spoken about wanting to give the club
time so to plan for a successor to him
but but as Gary mentioned you know it
comes at a time when that they're well
placed for a great season they're
leading the Premier League they're
through to one cup final there's two
other tournaments they're going in as
well I mean this news if you're one of
those Liverpool Players yesterday will
have come as an absolute Hammer
blow which way could this go is there a
danger the season could
unravel I don't think Jurgen Klo would
would let it unravel um I agree with
Gary in terms of the timing surprised me
I think that the fact that he'd
obviously signed that contract extension
he spoke about Liverpool 2.0 didn't he
rebuilt the the forward line he he'd
rebuilt the Midfield yes they're in a
very good position in the league they're
obviously in the The Cup competitions as
well but I spoke to a lot of Liverpool
fans yesterday and some of the older
ones were were saying it was it was on a
par when shankley resigned and they said
they felt like a similar sort of feeling
there but then they looked at what
happened then you know the the fact that
Paisley came in and they were even more
successful so I think they can look at
it in a positive that Jurgen kops
actually left this club in a really good
position so the next manager that comes
in can take them forward and and they
can win even more so I think you could
look at it both ways of course the
players are going to miss him they're
going to miss that energy so charismatic
the fact that yes he has improved
players coming in and you think of of
players the likes of of mosala what will
happen to to his future but I think
they'll just be so grateful for what
he's given them and the next manager
that comes in like say in a great
position to to move Liverpool forward
dors I was thinking about you know the
impact when Sir Alex left Manchester
United now I know he was there for a lot
longer and had Dynasty and stuff but
they've still not recovered is there any
danger that we could see something
similar at Liverpool
possibly possibly um but I mean you've
got to get the the right person in
charge and that's a million dollar
question now where do you go and and
find that person that's trying to go
going to continue what y Club started
out continued brought the Premier League
back after 30 over 30 years he's done an
incredible job and I was for the first
couple of hours yesterday thinking why
is he doing it now and then I've gone
back and thought do you know what it
dissolves all the credit was always
going to leave on his terms he's leaving
the football club in in a better place
than what he came in and and he said I'm
not going to help in in deciding who's
the next manager but it just gives him
an advantage and a head start to say
right who is who is that going to be uh
and I don't see it being the same as
Manchester United no I don't I think
this this group of players and whoever
comes in for me at this moment in time
jabbi Alonzo is would be the right fit
the link with the football club what
he's doing at lusen he's he's remarkable
but in three months that might be
different three or four months it could
be completely different Roberto deserie
whoever gets that job is going into an
unbelievable football club with all the
history and he's got the players there
to try and carry on Mike James
philosophy y klopp went to Liverpool and
all attack him how is he going to carry
on with this and it took him that time I
I love the way I probably look back to
when he's one who walked around the
pitch at the end of the game M just
never used to do that eight years ago I
was you clap your fans and off you go he
he's sort of galvanized and and managers
and players have continued that so he's
going to be a huge loss incredible what
he's done and good luck to him for the
rest of the season it will be it'll be
an incredible finish I missed the fist
pumping I love all of that you know when
you walk away I've never been a manager
but I used to be love being involved
with the fans but that fist pump yeah I
miss that yeah I missed that he did did
he was never in the Premier League or
anywhere in England you see everyone now
going round and going right we've got to
appreciate the fans have always turned
up and get behind m m of managers and
players now I see going fist pumping
when they win yeah you're can clop yeah
it's the fist pumps at the at the end
and it's the you know the the players
the Embraces of the players at the end
as well and and this is where it comes
down to you getting someone who who can
build that relationship with the players
and now they've lost that relationship
with Jurgen or they will be losing that
relationship what does it mean for the
likes of Trent Alexander Arnold for for
Mo Salah for for Virgil Van djk who all
I think about 18 months left on their
contracts now we start to ask what does
this mean for them Lee yeah well it does
and it's it's not I mean it's obviously
them but it's the it's the new man
that's going to come in charge isn't it
you know and that that's where it's the
big questions are and like you said when
you've got a rapport with a a manager I
mean we've all been in changing rooms
and and you know if you've got someone
that's you know give you game time and
and give you time you you don't want to
lose that manager because you know that
you're really starting again um I just
think that they have to get it right and
listen we're talking about you know
jabbi Alonzo coming in and and you know
dors is right he ticks all the boxes at
this moment in time but I think to to to
even come anywhere close to what Klo
brings to a changeing room you know what
he brings to the players and he he's not
shy to do that he he's almost like one
of the players isn't he and that's where
I think the game's changed so much is
that you know klopp is the 12th man in
in that changing room and yes that's his
job to do and and in galvanized players
but he gets the best out of players as
Clinton says you know what you say sorry
T you know when foreign players come
over and it takes a bit of time to
adjust jgen CL is a foreign manager he's
come to Liverpool he's brought into
Liverpool he's brought into the
community he's bought into the fan base
and you see you see there when he's he's
so passionate about the game and that's
what I was going to say say managers are
different you guys would see on the
touchdown there's other managers that
are nice and quiet and and not as
frantic as it but I like that Jurgen
Club style he's passionate and he's
brought into it and listen you wish him
well everyone says Where will he he work
next he said he's never going to be
working in the Premier League I'll
probably see joggen Club going to be an
international manager I think that's
important oh sorry guys no when he first
came in it was interesting wasn't it I
remember back to that first press
conference remember when he said I'm
going to bring rock and roll football to
Liverpool and there's one thing's for
sure nobody could say that he hasn't
done you know he's brought a rock and
roll football and he's brought a rock
and roll mentality and Charisma to that
place and I think you know it's it's
certainly going to be hard to to do it
yeah I just think he got it didn't he I
think he had that connection with the
fans and the fans had that connection
with him straight away as soon as he
came in like say from that first press
conference and and the fact that he has
B into the community you've you've heard
so many people saying like letters that
he's wrote to them and you know he's
just had those dealings with people
within Liverpool so I think they've
that's what they'll Miss as well so not
only the football and the success but
also the connection with their
no su's good and she's an I know she is
I was just going to ask her that no Sue
I mean you said you said that about you
know him having that connection with the
fans and I mean that is deep connection
isn't it oh yeah I mean who comes in and
does something similar to that is that
is that going to disrupt what's in that
change is that going to disrupt the
whole Forte of what Liverpool's been
about since Jurgen club's been around I
think that's where it's difficult I
don't think someone can come in and try
and replicate what J club's done I think
they've got to come in and and be
themselves yeah and try and take the
team forward maybe in a in a different
way because he's unique isn't he a
oneoff so I think whoever comes in will
have their own way of of doing things
yeah and just before we move on to to
who it might be just a final question on
klopp and what next for him because
Clinton mentioned International
Management there Michael obviously after
the Euros you often see you know changes
and positions vacated maybe Germany
maybe England Soaker Saturday Gaz has
done
it who knows I mean look it's clear it's
a stressful job I mean look there's only
Gary who's managed on here and you think
every day phone ringing people to deal
with when you're rep play you've only
got one person to look after yourself
how do I look after himself how do I
cross that while how do put myself in
the right preparation sounds like he's
going to take a break well earned break
that he needs but time will tell Will he
get itchy feet will he want to be
straight back you side step the question
Michael CL for England yes or no no I
mean it would be amazing for England I
mean we've got a brilliant manager I'm a
big fan of G Southgate but if he decided
to go someone will will tell where we
are favorites in my opinion to to go and
win the Euros if if Gareth doesn't do
that he's going to come under scrutiny
one thing you get with with young klopp
and you look at our English players
we've got were attacking and he plays
free flowing attacking players of course
he'd fit that Bell I think it's it's
wrong of me to say is he going to be the
next inle man at this moment in time but
he needs time I see that's you know what
listen if if if you don't want him at
England we'll have him at the Republic
of is so listen we'll have him at the
Republic of Island we can move on now
Joes listening Jurgen the job's yours
and I'm very aware that car Southgate is
still very much the England manager
could go win the Euros this summer who
knows um Ju Just Looking forward then
final question about Liverpool then who
should it be Alonzo seems to be well
he's the bookmaker favorite seems to be
the favorite of a lot of Liverpool fans
with his connection to the club there is
his odds on then you got Roberto derer
um jaab Alonzo Lee this is his first
full season in management he's doing an
amazing job the only unbeaten side in
the top five divisions in Europe but is
taking over at Liverpool as too soon for
him um no he's a he's a he's a young up
andc coming manager isn't he I think you
know if they they're bringing in a
strategy of of where they go I think you
know he does fit the bill listen you've
got to start somewhere you've got to
give someone an opportunity he's going
to inherit a fabulous team and Squad of
players I think it's going to be
important I feel if they're going to
keep the likes of Salah who who are
going into the last 18 months of the
contract Trent um van dijk so I think
that'll be one thing you take three of
them players that possibly could leave
the football club which I don't think
that's going to be the case you know I
think you know that that's a problem but
listen I think he could come in and do I
think he's wore the shirt he knows what
the club's about doesn't he and and that
that's so important and that's when I
think timing in football you look at
Steven Gerard who's been linked ever
since he's had a job and what he did up
at at Rangers and you think to yourself
if he would have still been in a Rangers
job and and doing what he was doing up
there I mean he would have been jumping
straight into the spot of the of the the
hot seat but as we say it's timing
things are going well for for alono i'
I'd like to Chuck someone in there
though that not even on there and I
think things aren't great at Newcastle
we touched on that and I think maybe
someone like an Eddie how that that
might be someone that knows the Premier
League he's gone to a football club
that's well been a tough one to to
Really deal with I think people have
doubted him but I'm not saying he's
leaving Newcastle but you look at
managers that aren't in the frame and I
think the Herby and Eddie how I think
I'd be looking at Eddie how cuz I like
the way he plays I like his sty you know
what hendo I was going to say to G guys
did you see on there pep linders was
there we talking about not changing a
lot of what's happened at Liverpool he's
obviously been yogan club's assistant do
you think some he could go and f that
void and go into that P or is it
difficult where you've been an assistant
I think the obvious thing is that you
you would link him to that but he might
be able to continue it but I think it's
very difficult when you've worked under
someone like klopp to end do it do it a
different way I I I think Alonzo I think
Liverpool will throw Heaven and Earth to
get jabbi Alonzo and I think the reason
why is because yes he knows what it's
like to put on the and he'll have that
instant Synergy yeah he's been
incredible with lus and this season
they've been brilliant and also he's
worked under Guardiola rclub and I think
he's actually almost a hybrid when you
watch his team play they're actually a
little bit in between so I think he's
different enough but yet he still has
that Hallmark of someone who could be
successful I'd be surprised if he's not
the next manager do you think the lack
of experience though might sort of wave
him to look elsewhere or I don't know
but if you think he's top of the
Bundesliga at the moment in front of
Munich who always win it so I think he's
done well enough
to to get that link so yeah I mean who
knows but I think he you know I would
say he' been the next manager
yeah
