Jürgen Klopp is not fond of joblessness, however...
Jürgen Klopp, as he leaves Liverpool FC, mentions his need to "really recover" and feel "empty." During a meeting in Mallorca, he shares his thoughts on his future plans. Right now, he doesn't envision seeking out a new coaching job.
Klopp isn't sure what he'll do after his football career ends. What is certain, though, is that he won't just stop working. "I won't stop working entirely, that's for sure. But I don't see myself taking on another coaching job at this moment," he stated in a "Willipedia" podcast.
In a previous career, Klopp coached Borussia Dortmund and Mainz 05, and was incredibly successful as a coach in the English Premier League. Now that he's left Liverpool FC, he said, "A coach is a coach. You either give it your all or you don't. That's the way I see it."
He's been working at a high intensity for 23 years, dedicating himself fully to this occupation. "And now, I'm taking a break. That's all. Nothing else has changed," said Klopp. "I have no idea how I'll feel during or after the break, or what I'll want to do then. So, we'll just have to wait and see." When he announced his departure from Liverpool, Klopp mentioned that his goal was to "really recover" and that there would be "certainly exciting offers for new tasks" in the future, but he doesn't plan on making any decisions anytime soon. He advises the reporters not to scour for open positions at other clubs.
Klopp plans to be "the spark, the energy source" as a coach, but for now, he's "empty." He shared these thoughts during a chat at the "Think Different" economic forum on Mallorca last week. He has a vacation home on the island and explained, "I'm not a daydreamer. But I've dreamed my whole life of having a house in the south." He believes the medical care on Mallorca is top notch, especially as we get older. He hopes that his words will be clearly understood if any larger issues present themselves. "Maybe I'll stay here."
