Jurgen Klopp has expressed uncertainty about taking on another managerial role following his unexpected decision to leave Liverpool on Friday.

However, he has clarified that he has no plans to manage a different club in England. Klopp, who has enjoyed 8½ successful years at Liverpool with seven major trophies, is currently leading his team's pursuit of winning all four major trophies available in the ongoing campaign.

"If you ask me now if I will ever manage again? I would say no." Klopp said. "But you don't know, obviously, as I've never had this situation. But I do know definitely I will never manage a different club in England than Liverpool. It is impossible.

"I will find something else to do. But I will not manage a club or country for at least a year."

At the age of 56, Klopp took over as Liverpool manager in 2015, bringing new life to a team that had been struggling against top English teams. He achieved significant success, winning the Champions League in 2019—his inaugural trophy with Liverpool—and securing the team's first Premier League title in 2020.

The unexpected announcement of Klopp's departure on Friday surprised the football community, especially considering that he had signed a contract extension in 2022, originally set to expire at the end of the 2025–26 season. Bayern Munich's head coach, Thomas Tuchel, expressed his astonishment at Klopp's decision to leave Liverpool during a news conference on Friday.

"I have to digest that first. … Kloppo is one of the very best coaches in the world; he has always managed to influence the clubs where he worked. It's big news," Tuchel said.

Last season marked Klopp's most challenging period at Liverpool, as they ended fifth in the Premier League, failing to secure Champions League qualification. However, Liverpool has bounced back strongly this season, currently leading the Premier League table and still competing for success in the Europa League, FA Cup, and Carabao Cup.

Klopp intends to rebuild Liverpool after a disappointing season

"I told the club already in November," Klopp said. "I have to explain a little bit that maybe the job I do people see from the outside, I'm on the touchline and in training sessions and stuff like this, but the majority of all the things happen around these kinds of things. That means a season starts and you plan pretty much the next season already.

"When we sat there together talking about potential signings, the next summer camp and can we go wherever, the thought came up, 'I am not sure I am here then anymore,' and I was surprised myself by that. I obviously started thinking about it.

"It didn't start [then], but of course last season was kind of a super difficult season and there were moments when at other clubs probably the decision would have been, 'Come on, thank you very much for everything but probably we should split here or end it here.' That didn't happen here, obviously.

"For me, it was super, super, super important that I can help bring this team back onto the rails. It was all I was thinking about. When I realised pretty early that happened—it's a really good team with massive potential, a super age group, super characters and all that—then I could start thinking about myself again and that was the outcome. It is not what I want to [do], it is just what I think is 100 percent right."
