German midfielder shares affectionate words about the departing Liverpool coach
Jürgen Klopp has been the talk of the football world in recent days as he bids farewell to Liverpool this season. The English club officially announced, “Jürgen Klopp has announced his decision to step down as Liverpool’s head coach at the end of the season, after informing the club’s ownership of his desire to leave his position in the summer.”
This news sparked numerous reactions, considering Klopp’s status as one of the world’s top coaches, as evidenced by his impressive track record. Toni Kroos himself seized the opportunity to comment on the coach’s decision: “You didn’t get the feeling that he seemed tired now. You didn’t realize that. Many people suggested it last year when they were going through a tough time. Perhaps many expected him to leave then.”
Real Madrid’s midfielder also wanted to extend a gesture to Klopp: “As a fan of German football, all we can do is hope that at some point we can convince him to take on any role in Germany. This is what we have been wishing for many, many years.”
Toni Kroos’s Request During Klopp’s farewell press conference, he hinted at the possibility of taking a sabbatical year after coaching Liverpool for nine long years. However, Kroos seems to be looking ahead, desiring Klopp’s return to the country where he grew up. We’ll see if the position of the German national team’s coach is an option.
“For all Liverpool and football fans, Jürgen Klopp is synonymous with a certain loyalty, above all dedication, love for the club, and success. He is now a legend in Germany, a legend in Liverpool, and in England,” concluded Toni Kroos in his words of admiration for Klopp.
