Jurgen Klopp has clarified that his departure from Liverpool this summer does not mean he is retiring from football for good.
The German is set to take a break from the game once he exits Anfield and had hinted upon his shock announcement that there is no guarantee that he will step into the dugout again
Speaking at the time, Klopp said:
“If you ask me, ‘Will you ever work as a manager again?’ I would say now no. But I don’t know obviously how that will feel because I never had the situation."
Klopp also added: “But all the rest, will I ever work again? Of course, I know myself, I cannot just sit around. I will find something else maybe to do. But I will not manage a club or a country at least for a year, that’s not possible, I cannot do that and I don’t want to. That’s all.
Klopp, who leaves Merseyside after nearly nine years, has now indicated that his exit from Liverpool will not signal the end of his career

“So I think some other people used that word [retirement] when I had my announcement and I thought that’s the right way to say it… I just step aside here, so that’s the idea. I don’t know what is happening after.”
