Jurgen Klopp is leaving Liverpool this summer and he’s given an insight into what immediate life will look like for him.
The German shockingly announced in January that he will depart the Reds at the end of the season after nearly nine years in charge.
Klopp will leave after guiding them to Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup, League Cup, Super Cup and Club World Cup success.
His final match in charge comes at home against Wolves on Sunday, with Anfield set for an emotional atmosphere as they bid farewell.
And on the morning of the game, Liverpool released their final interview with Klopp in which they reflected on his tenure.
When asked by Kelly Cates if he knows what’s next for him, he simply replied: “Holiday.

“[The] Champions League final with [former club Borussia] Dortmund [against Real Madrid], I got invited, so we will watch that.”
Klopp was then asked if there was anywhere he could go on holiday that would see him switch off and avoid his Liverpool exit.
“It’s not that I tried a lot, so I didn’t have time,” he said. “I had time but a summer holiday for me at least at the end of the season was like falling on the first available sunbed and having a phone here and talking to agents, sporting directors, stuff like that.
“Having no training sessions, yes, but the rest was pretty much still going on. So that means I didn’t see one per cent of the world for nothing.
“Now we will do nothing, we will watch the Euros here and there, really looking forward to that and then holiday doing nothing and then the plan is start to travel and we will see how that goes.”
Klopp bought a luxury villa in Mallorca for £3.4million in 2022 and that will be the perfect place for him to rest and recuperate.
When he initially announced his departure, Klopp said that he won’t be managing another club or country ‘at least for a year’.
He also said that if he does return to the dugout, then it ‘100 per cent’ won’t be at any other Premier League side.
What is certain though is that Klopp will take to the Anfield touchline for the final time to end an incredible stint at Liverpool.
