Jurgen Klopp will bring the curtains down on his memorable nine-year stay at Liverpool. The German announced in January that he will leave at the end of the season after a trophy-laden stint in Merseyside.
Klopp’s arrival helped turn things around at the club with Liverpool winning its first league title in 30 years and a sixth Champions League crown in 2019.
He has been hailed as an influential figure both on and off the field by Liverpool supporters. Here are some of his best quotes from his time as Liverpool manager:
- ‘The normal one’: “I don’t want to be compared to them. I want to be the one who sets the standard. I want to be the special one.”
- ‘Heavy metal football’: “It’s not important what people think when you come in, it’s important what people think when you leave. We want to play heavy metal football. We want to be a really aggressive team and we want to be really intense in all parts of the game.”
- ‘Emotional football’: “We have to change from doubters to believers. Now.”
- ‘I am the normal one’: “I am a totally normal guy. I came from the Black Forest. I am the normal one, maybe.”
- ‘Doubters to believers’: “I don’t care if it’s a friendly game, I want to win it. There are many things that I am interested in. It’s not just football. I am interested in development, I am interested in players and people.”
- ‘The best word I can say, but I don’t like it too much, is ‘luck’. If you work, you have a chance to be lucky. If you don’t work, you don’t have any chance.”
Jurgen Klopp’s departure marks the end of an era at Liverpool, leaving behind a legacy of success, passion, and memorable quotes.
