Jürgen Klopp’s tenure at Liverpool is with a maximum of 14 games left as the German manager gets ready to leave Anfield. On Thursday night, the Reds host Sheffield United in the ongoing thrilling Premier League title race.
Next week, Atalanta will be the opponents in the Europa League quarterfinal. And with the Carabao Cup already won, there’s still a good chance Klopp will cap off his Liverpool career with a treble.
More than two months have passed since Klopp declared his intention to step down in the summer. Liverpool players and fans were taken aback by the 56-year-old’s decision, as he acknowledged that he was ‘running out of energy’ to carry on.
Klopp has already been linked to other positions, among them at Barcelona and with the German national team. Despite his intentions to take a year off from football.
Furthermore, Virgil van Dijk, the captain of Liverpool, doesn’t think he will be gone for very long.
Speaking to The Times as reported by LiverpoolFC, the Dutch defender said: “I think he made that decision for him and his family and he needed that year off. I think he will definitely be back quite quickly because he lives and breathes football. We’ll see.

“I never thought that I was going to be playing at Liverpool without him being the manager.
If you think about Liverpool, Jurgen Klopp is one of the first figures that you would think about. He’s part of the culture of the city. And the success that we have has been incredible.”
