Liverpool’s head coach Jurgen Klopp has announced that he would be leaving the club at the end of the season, after nine years. And he has promised that the Red giants are set for the future.
At the beginning of the season, Liverpool underwent a midfield overhaul, signing Ryan Gravenberch, Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai, and Wataru Endo after the departures of veterans Jordan Henderson, Fabinho and James Milner.
“This team is set up for the future,” Klopp said ahead of the FA Cup fourth-round tie on Sunday at home to Norwich City. “When I said Liverpool 2.0, I didn’t mean me forever.
“There will be a top manager here and we can play good football.
“It is a wonderful future ahead. That’s all I want. I don’t want to be a passenger disturbing the process.”
Speaking about the club getting a new manager, Klopp said.
“They will get a top manager here,” he said. “There will be good football and what we all learned and changed from doubters to believers. If we keep all that, then it’s a wonderful future ahead and that’s all I want.”
Liverpool CEO Billy Hogan said the club will go through a process “in the background” before hiring Klopp’s successor.
“I wouldn’t want to set an expectation as it’s a process we have to go through,” Hogan said. “We have to look through all the information and data, do the due diligence, and then we’ll make an announcement. It’ll go on in the background.
” I can’t put a time on it – it will happen behind the scenes. It’s not to be a distraction… it’s about the campaign continuing and the team continuing to perform.
“When we have something to say, we will have something to say at that point.”
