In a surprising move for supporters, a video surfaced on the club’s website featuring the German manager admitting that he is “running out of energy.”
Having been at the helm since 2015 with two more seasons left on his contract, Klopp’s departure comes amidst Liverpool’s participation in the Carabao Cup final this week, and they are still in contention for four trophies, hoping for a successful conclusion to his tenure.
In response to the unexpected news, the footballing community has been sharing reactions, and Manchester United, Liverpool’s arch-rivals, swiftly posted on social media shortly after the announcement.
Fans perceive the ‘good morning’ message as a subtle jab at Klopp’s departure, with many quick to respond.
“The choice of words for this caption is very intentional and I’m here for it,” said one fan. Another replied with “perfect timing” alongside a photo of Klopp.

With Liverpool’s notable success under Klopp, it comes as no surprise that rival clubs are openly embracing the announcement of his departure at the season’s end.
The 56-year-old has steered Liverpool to an impressive seven major trophies, including their inaugural Premier League title and a sixth Champions League triumph.
Recognized as one of the finest managers in the club’s history, his exit represents a substantial loss and poses a considerable challenge for his successor.
While Manchester United may hope that Klopp’s departure narrows the gap between them and Liverpool, they grapple with their own uncertainties.
The future of Erik ten Hag remains uncertain with the arrival of new owners at Old Trafford, potentially prompting United to join the managerial search themselves in the near future.
