Juergen Klopp stunned the world of football on Friday when he announced he would stand down as Liverpool manager at the end of season, saying that after more than eight hugely successful years in charge he was running out of energy.
The German, who led Liverpool into the final of the League Cup on Wednesday and is hugely popular with the fans, said he told the club's hierarchy in November that he would end his eight-and-a-half years at Anfield at the end of the current campaign.
Assistant managers Pepijn Lijnders and Peter Krawietz are also leaving the club at the same time, Liverpool said.
