Manager Jurgen Klopp has decided to leave Liverpool at the end of the season, the Premier League club said on Friday.

"I can understand that it's a shock for a lot of people in this moment, when you hear it for the first time," Klopp said in an interview on the website of the Premier League leaders.

"It is that I am, how can I say it, running out of energy," Klopp the German added.

"I have no problem now, obviously, I knew it already for longer that I will have to announce it at one point, but I am absolutely fine now. I know that I cannot do the job again and again and again and again."

Klopp, who previously led Borussia Dortmund in his homeland, claimed the Champoions League trophy in 2019 and the English Premier League title in 2020. (AFP/Reuters)
