Final thing I'll say on Klopp before moving on.

I hope the players are galvanized and win this man some more hardware before the end of the year. He absolutely deserves it.

Sounds like burn out. It was a surprise bc there were rumors of him signing a new contract.

Not sure I could manage a club in PL with the way refs are taking over.

You know, I told myself just the other day when Saban retired and Carroll was moved on that it is always a surprise for some reason when these guys step down, even though it shouldn't be. Especially for Saban and Carroll; they're into their 70s at this point, have won everything there is to win, and have been doing a job that would exhaust people half their age. I always suspected that the specific moment Saban retired would catch people off guard, but ultimately it would not be surprising at all.

Now here I am a couple weeks later with Klopp retiring, and it's really surprising. Even though it shouldn't be. lol

Why is Klopp leaving? Just burned out? This is a huge surprise, right?

Burnout. He made a whole vid with the LFC social media team detailing his decision.

I don't view it as a big surprise overall, there were discussions that he was going to leave before his contract was extended this last time.

Most suprising part, I believe, is that the annoucement came mid-season. Klopp's explanation was that he didn't believe it wouldn't leak to the media, so he wanted to get ahead of it.

As far as his future, I would definitely not be surprised to see him take a year off and then go for the German national team job or the Bayern Munich job. I know both are filled, but Klopp is a better manager than Tuchel or Nagelsmann IMO.

Someone found out and was going to leak it for sure. Sounded like FSG has known this for a bit.

I also don’t think he’s done. He said no in a comment in the video but there was some wiggle room there. My guess would be the German National team too. Going to Bayern eventually would surprise me though.

The voodoo curse with Chelsea and injuries continues. We have two legit fullbacks healthy. One of those fullbacks is still working back to full health/form so he can’t start like he did Tuesday. He will be on the bench. The other one is an academy player with less than 150 minutes of top level experience. Then we have two CBs that can play fullback but one of those CBs just hurt himself in warmups. Cursed.
