Jürgen Klopp admits he will miss certain facets of his tenure as Liverpool head coach. However claims he is pleased with his choice to walk away from Merseyside after the end of the season. The 56-year-old German is putting the curtain on his remarkable stint as Reds manager later this month, almost nine years since he succeeded Brendan Rodgers during October 2015.

Since revealing his decision to step down just four months ago, Klopp has led Liverpool to an exhilarating Carabao Cup victory over Chelsea, and Sunday's 4-2 victory over Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield - thanks to goals from Mohamed Salah, Andy Robertson, Cody Gakpo, and Harvey Elliott - made sure that the Reds would finish this season in the Premier League's top three.

However, the Liverpool manager, who is set to be succeeded by Arne Slot of Feyenoord, reiterated his satisfaction with his decision to leave Anfield in a little over two weeks, and indicated the aspects of life within the dugout that had begun to take their toll on him during a glittering career in England and Germany.

Jurgen Klopp spoke to the reporters after the game against Tottenham Hotspur as he said, "Since it's clear that I will finish and with other clubs looking for managers and you hear what a manager needs to do and needs to have, I always ask myself 'Did I have all that when I arrived here?' It has to fit and I think we were all lucky."

“When we are losing……” : Jurgen Klopp 

He added, "It was a win-win situation from the first day. I enjoyed each second of it, it's absolutely great. All the responsibility and love that grew over the years is a big part of the decision I made, so I'm absolutely fine and at peace with the decision.

The former Borussia Dortmund manager further said that, "When you're winning it's fine because then you can speak about individuals, fantastic performance and stuff like this but we cannot do the same when we are losing. You can't single out a player and say he was particularly bad so let's talk about that for the next 10 minutes, so that cuts off 50, 60, 70 per cent of the things you can say - but and you're still asking! That part is a lot.
