Jurgen Klopp could ditch his planned sabbatical and return next season if the European giants are interested in his services. Last January, the German footballer shocked the football world by announcing that he would be leaving Liverpool at the end of the season.
He said he lacked energy. He explained thus: “How should I say this? I have no more energy. There is no problem now. Of course, I’ve known for a long time that I’d have to post it at some point, but I’m perfectly fine with it now. I know I can’t do that again.
“Klopp, who won the Champions League and Premier League during his nine years with Liverpool, has revealed he will take some time away from playing and will not coach another team in England. “If you ask me, ‘Are you going to be a manager again?’” he said. If you ask, I’d say not right now. But of course I don’t know what it’s like because it’s never happened to me.
“I know the truth: I will never 100% manage any club in England except Liverpool.” It’s impossible. “However, transfer expert Gerard Romero (via Something Liverpool ) has revealed that there is only one club that will have Klopp back in charge next season: Barcelona. Romero said the only club who could convince Klopp not to give up a year were the La Liga giants.
Klopp is said to have had a conversation with Barcelona president Joan Laporta, revealing that he is very interested in the Barcelona manager’s vacancy. Current Barcelona coach Javi Hernández also announced in January that he would step down at the end of the season.
Xavi said the work took a toll and it was time to take a step back for his mental health. “At Barcelona you always feel underestimated and humiliated. That’s how the club works.” “It’s also mentally very difficult. I’m a positive person, but the battery drains – and at some point you realize you don’t have to stay.”
