Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has shared his understanding of why Jurgen Klopp left Liverpool at the conclusion of the previous season.
Klopp, who began his tenure with Liverpool in 2015, chose to end his time at the club after nearly nine years. He revealed his decision to leave Liverpool early in the year, and the club has since appointed Dutch coach Arne Slot as his successor.
Ancelotti attributes Klopp’s departure to the overwhelming pressures associated with managing a football team. He explained to *il Giornale* that such pressures, including continuous demands and responsibilities, can become too burdensome, similar to what was experienced by Arrigo Sacchi.
Klopp’s hands-on approach and intense football style eventually became too demanding for him. In his resignation announcement, Klopp admitted feeling drained and acknowledged that despite being fine at the moment, he recognized that he couldn’t continue in the role indefinitely. He expressed his gratitude and respect for the Liverpool supporters, noting that he owed them honesty.
Klopp’s departure marks the end of a remarkable era at Liverpool, during which he led the team to significant victories in both the Premier League and the Champions League. His tenure is remembered fondly by fans for both the success and the exciting style of play.
Arne Slot now faces the challenging task of following in Klopp’s footsteps at Anfield.
