Topic: Jürgen Klopp

[meady1981]

Yes I agree! He will need a new challenge soon enough. He wont function without it. 

Absolutely no way he does a job that involves intense media scrutiny.
Or away from Germany.

Some would say a lot of us are being overly sentimental and emotional, but I actually think in this case the feelings are justified.

In our lives, people always come and go. If we're lucky, some are special, so we hope they stay. If we're very lucky indeed, we have someone in our lives that are the full package. Although 99.99% of us don't know Klopp on a personal level, the vast majority of us feel we still know him well. He's a truly special person. A brilliant manager, but also a truly amazing human being. Now that's rare. When a person like that walks into your life, you feel it. When they walk out of it, you feel it even more.

He is no ordinary manager, and he's no ordinary man. Going on all I've seen and heard from him and about him, he's probably one of the most rounded, evolved human beings I've seen. As I said; when such a person walks out of your life, you feel it. It doesn't matter that we may not have even met the man. That makes no difference. Wherever he goes, he brings light, warmth and humanity with him. Now that's special. How can you not get emotional when you part ways with someone like that?

He is already started improving a skill. Just goes to show these driven individuals cant really just go on endless holidays and not do anything. He will definitely be back managing or doing some sort of role in football soon.

I hope he basically retires from management, maybe just does some very limited pundit work.

I'd be jealous as shit if he started managing some other club.  And couldn't bear us having to play against him in a Euro competition.

[No666]

He said he probably won't manage again. Reckon if he works again it'll be something a little different, less pressured, less 24/7. We should get him back in a Kenny role - sitting on the board, representing the club as an ambassador - at the least.

Managing our u21's would be less stressful. Just sayin'

See I think he's actually one of the managers that likes the media the most. Maybe not likes but one of the happiest to talk and most comfortable in front of a microphone. Just the questions they ask can be so fucking stupid and obviously some of the stories too. He would always do his best to sincerely answer questions in depth. Inevitable it grinds someone down after that long though. I always thought it was worse for someone like him who is happy to talk and go into detail but gets asked such shite!

Great to see him posting on Instagram even if it feels so strange seeing it!

really?! He can’t stand them is the impression I’ve got 

Yes, he likes to talk, and he will talk at length with some of the better journos when he does sit down interviews.  But the day to day media, he’s never hidden the fact he can’t stand doing it, the press conferences etc.

I do think he’ll go back into footy though.  Either Germany coach if the timing works out, or in another role at a German club maybe.  Although he may not want to tear himself away from living in Spain after doing it for a year or two!

Yeah not a chance - he said himself he's had a house built in Germany, which he expects to not be in much and they're getting a villa built on Majorca. He's not daft enough to move back here - mind you, with that Brexit shite, he probably can't anyway unless he takes a full time job.

[mullyred94]

Anyone figure out who signed his racquet ? 

[Fromola]

I think he stays in Germany from now on. He's not coming back to England, he doesn't speak Italian or Spanish to go and manage over there (and communication is vital for him).

I don't see him taking the Bayern job, although they'll throw a lot of money at him and he might see that as his chance to win more top honours.

Beyond that it's the Germany job or he might go back to Dortmund or Mainz at some point.

[No666]

He doesn't have to move back to England. It's a part-time role. A very part-time role. A pick and choose role, which, if he's coming back to watch matches, might mean very little extra travel.

[Cafe De Paris]

He will manage Germany one day. That will be his next move. Great to see him managing them and come up against eng er lund and his team smashing them. Imagine the media fume.

[meady1981]

Just having a think about him, and I can't think of many other people in history who are in as good a position as he is now. Extremely wealthy, universally loved, no controversy or baggage dogging him. He could sit around in his Spanish villa basking in legendary status until the day he dies, or basically pick any job in world football. He literally can do whatever the fuck he wants now. I reckon he was secretly giddy at the prospect for the last few months.

He is pretty famous though, which brings its own challenges such as not being able to do what he wants and people always following him around.

I think there is only so long someone like Klopp can sit still. He's earned and needs a good rest, but he's still at the peak of his powers as a leader. I think he'll be back.

[darragh85]

I have a feeling he will be back

Wow.

[Hedley Lamarr]

Nah.  He’s done with this country.  I think the Germany job might tempt him after the Euros, apart from that I wouldn’t be surprised if he just doesn’t fancy anything.  Pop up on TV as a pundit now and again.

He’s escaped from football unscathed, not many do that.

Nagelsman just signed an extension didn't he?

I think I agree. He's well out of this country now. He's probably too wise to inflict this country on himself a second time.

He also knows there's far more to life than football. He's young enough to now enjoy the fruits of his labour. Good luck to him.

He comes from a beautiful area in Germany, he's got the money to build a huge house, he can live and travel anywhere he wants in Europe, why the fuck would he choose to live in this Brexit stunted shithole?   

[ChaChaMooMoo]

If he is indeed done with football, in all probability, Dortmund or Mainz but not in a coaching role.

More in a director of football or head of footballing affairs type of role.

[SamLad]

I hope he's shaved his beard off - for a while anyhow.

not that I don't like it, he suits it well.  but without it, it's a lot less likely he'll have every bugger who sees him pestering him about football.  he needs and deserves as much of a break as possible.

I don't disagree but his personality and intellect is so overwhelming, it'd take a hell of a manager to push back on anything he wanted to implement.

would prefer him as DoF or behind-the-scenes to be honest.  he deserves to get the media out of his face 24/7.

[In the Name of Klopp]

I reckon they'll sack him if Klopp was interested in the job.

Next England manager? 

Next Dortmund President (that's the rumour)

Mainz would be the perfect Club for him, if that's what he's interested in.

[edeyj]

I don't see him managing at club level again. Why would he want to do that? Seen it, done it, got the t shirt!

Germany manager maybe if it becomes available in 12 months time.

Would like to see him in an ambassadorial role for one or more of the big charities. Reckon he could do a great job.

I want him to bring back the glasses and his original teeth, if I had to pick one thing I didn't love about the man it was his makeover.

[AmanShah21]

I dont mind it at all. People want to look better. Its very human and he has talked about it in the past. If anything, I think that makes him more relatable.

To be honest, I would want him in that role as well. But at Liverpool, it would be a high pressure job at the end of the day. Too much scrutiny and too much speculation.

I dont know if he would want that much pressure anymore, probably wants to live close to home and would probably want reorganise a club from the bottom.

Mainz would be THE club for that. Dortmund to a lesser degree because he already has his mark there.

[PatriotScouser]

He's still in regards to the ages of managers, not that old either.

He deserves and needs a break for a year-18 months, but after that he'll be chomping at the bit to get back into management be it on a national or club level. So I don't think we've see the last of Jurgen in a managerial role, far from it in fact.

[Fromola]

He's got the gift of not being money motivated either. He's obviously been well rewarded by Liverpool financially but he wouldn't take a job on he wasn't really up for. Compared to the likes of Hodgson, Redknapp or Allardyce who just can't turn down money and it's what motivates them. Allardyce getting Leeds and West Brom relegated when he's well past it - Hodgson making a fool of himself this season at the age of about 76, still managing in the PL. If he really wanted the money he could get a 100 million pound contract out of Chelsea over 4 or 5 years and then even if you're sacked you get the pay off. It won't appeal though.

He might consider international management with Germany if offered it, but I don't see him taking a big club job on again. Partly because the schedule just gets worse and worse every season. An expanded CL next season, an expanded Club World Cup at the end of next season. Going back to Mainz might appeal though or possibly Dortmund. You're not playing every 3 days, you get a proper winter break, none of the 12:30 Saturday nonsense after playing Wednesday night, closer to family and the media commitments less laborious and incessant.

[fridgepants]

I saw photos of people standing outside his house in Formby (?) which kind of illustrates your point.
