Jurgen Klopp has finally shared an honest glimpse into life after Liverpool, revealing his mindset, routine, and reflections on success.
In a recent interview with The Athletic, Klopp opened up about life after Liverpool and how he views his future in management.
He admitted he’s in no rush to return to the dugout: “I don’t want to work as a coach anymore. That’s what I think, but you don’t know. I’m 58.”
“If I started again at 65, everybody will say, ‘You said you’ll never do it again!’ Er, sorry, I thought 100 per cent when I said it! That is what I think now. I don’t miss anything.”
Now away from the demands of football, Klopp is enjoying a new rhythm to life. “I have the choice, I can go on holiday. And I decide when. Okay, Ulla decides when,” he laughed, revealing a lighter, more relaxed version of himself.
After decades of relentless football, he seems content embracing a calmer chapter — one shaped by freedom, family, and reflection rather than fixtures and finals.

Klopp’s reflections on legacy and lessons learned
Even in retirement, Klopp remains grounded by his experiences. “I lost more Champions League finals than most people play. I know how to lose and how life goes on,” he said.
Now, with time on his side, he’s open to sharing those lessons: “If somebody asks me something, I’m the most open book I know.”
During his nine-year spell at Liverpool, Klopp transformed the club — winning the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup, League Cup, Super Cup, and Club World Cup. Across 489 games, he recorded 304 wins, 100 draws, and just 85 defeats — a legacy built on passion, belief, and progress.
“You look at my career, there are much more successful careers than mine, but I had it all,” he reflected, satisfied with both triumphs and trials that shaped his journey.
For Klopp, the next chapter isn’t about chasing more — it’s about appreciating what’s already been achieved.
