Jürgen Klopp has said his goodbyes.
Liverpool will host Wolverhampton Wanderers in the 38th round of the 2023-24 Premier League (PL) season at Anfield in Liverpool, England, on Tuesday at 0:00 a.m. ET. It will be Klopp’s final game in charge of Liverpool.
The Reds released a statement on the club’s website to say goodbye to Klopp. Klopp said: “This place is really special. Without the people here, nothing would have happened. It’s the most helpful situation I’ve ever seen and experienced in my life,” Klopp said.
“It’s been such a great fit from day one to today, so it’s surreal to say goodbye, even though we know it’s 100% the right thing to do. It’s probably a lot more acceptable to a lot more people than it would have been if we had announced it in January. I’m really happy that I’ve put this team on track and now someone else can come in and help us get that decisive finish.”
Liverpool organized a post-match ceremony for Klopp so he could say goodbye to the Liverpool fans. A ceremony will be held next week. “I will be there,” Klopp said. I don’t know if we will call it an official event, but it will probably be the last one,” Klopp said.
Klopp made a name for himself with his pressing style of play at Dortmund. He won the league title with Bayern Munich. He was sought after by many teams and succeeded Brendan Rodgers as manager of Liverpool in the 2015-16 season. At Liverpool, Klopp also melded his colors. His intense pressing and quick transitions when they lost the ball made Liverpool competitive.
Under Klopp, Liverpool emerged from the dark ages. Liverpool’s last title was the English Football League Cup (EFL Cup) in 2011-12. Klopp’s Liverpool reached the top of the UEFA Champions League (UCL) in 2018-19 and won the PL title the following season, a longtime goal for the Reds. It was the first PL title in Liverpool’s history.
Liverpool have become a powerhouse under Klopp. There were many seasons where they failed to qualify for the UCL. But since 2016-17, Klopp’s first season in charge, the Reds have qualified for the UCL in six consecutive seasons. Last season, the Reds finished fifth 토토사이트 and headed to the UEFA Europa League (UEL), but this season they have rebuilt their squad and are back in contention for the title.
In January, Klopp announced that he would leave Liverpool at the end of the season. “Jurgen Klopp has informed the club of his desire to leave his position at the end of the 2023-24 season,” the club said on its website. At the end of this season, Jurgen Klopp has decided to step down as manager of Liverpool,” the club announced.
Liverpool’s players would have wanted to end the season on a winning note as it was their last with Klopp. The Reds lost to Manchester United in the FA Cup, ending the competition in the quarterfinals, but they added to their trophy cabinet by winning the EFL Cup. Winning the league and UEL were both possible.
However, both the league and UEL titles fell short. UEL couldn’t get past Atalanta in the quarterfinals, and the league suffered a late-season slump. They drew with Manchester United, lost to Crystal Palace and Everton, and fell behind Manchester City and Arsenal. Liverpool had to settle for winning the EFL Cup.
This will be Klopp”s last game in charge of Liverpool. The result won”t change Liverpool”s position in the table. They”ll finish third on goal difference with fourth-place Aston Villa. The Liverpool players will want to give Klopp one last gift with a win.
Liverpool’s final opponent is Wolverhampton. On paper, Liverpool are the favorites. Wolverhampton’s form hasn’t been great lately. They’ve only won one of their last nine games. It will be interesting to see if Liverpool can beat Wolverhampton and end Klopp’s reign on a high note.
