JURGEN KLOPP has revealed he plans to leave Liverpool when his contract comes to and end in 2024.
The Reds boss took over from Brendan Rodgers in 2015 and has overseen an era of superb football at Anfield.
Klopp has revealed he intends to leave the club in 2024
He led the club to a sixth European triumph in 2019 when they beat Tottenham in the Champions League final in Madrid.
And the following season he clinched Liverpool‘s first league title in 30 years.
As well as those two highlight moments, Klopp has also won the Uefa Super Cup, Club World Cup and, most recently, the Carabao Cup thanks to a penalty shoot-out victory over Chelsea last weekend.
But the German wants to leave Merseyside on his own terms and believes – at this moment in time – that 2024 is the right time to depart.
He said: “When I talk about a plan, I mean for the future of the club. My future will be OK. I don’t have to plan. I could book last minute – let’s put it like this. It is not a problem.
“The things we do, they are for a long, long time. So many things we’ve tried to improve over the years.
“At the beginning, a lot of people thought I was from Germany and we’d do it like the Germans but that’s not the case.
“I was 20 years nearly working in Germany but I never thought: ‘Oh my God! We are perfect, we should bring all that stuff to other countries!’
“No, just doing the right things, employing the right people in the right positions.
‘It doesn’t mean you win the title. It means you have the right people for the right job. That’s what we try and these people – a lot of them here at the moment — will be good.
“It will be fine whenever it will be after I leave. The plan is 2024, thank you very much.”
Klopp then went on to explain that his level of desire will determine whether he carries on beyond that.
He added: “If I have the energy levels for it is important.
“I love what I do but there must be something else out there in the world apart from always thinking about very well-skilled, good looking, fantastically nice players! But I really don’t think about it.
“I’m full of energy but I have to make sure that is the case [in the future].
“I don’t want to sit around and be more tired and think: ‘Wow! Why is everyone bothered about the things out there because I couldn’t care less?’”
