Jürgen Klopp knows the Rhine-Main area very well.
From summer onwards he will apparently be seen there more often again.
Wiesbaden – The short clip will go down in football history.
Rarely in the history of the sport has a highly respected coach announced in such a dignified manner that he would soon be leaving his job.
Jürgen Klopp is leaving Liverpool FC at the end of the current season.
Last Sunday (January 28th), Klopp's team won the FA Cup comfortably 5-2.
It was game one after the “message to Liverpool supporters from Jürgen Klopp,” as the traditional English club describes the two-minute video.
On “X” alone, the clip has collected over 53 million views (as of January 29th, 10:08 a.m.).
A shock for the fans of the proud club.

Farewell video cements Klopp's legendary status at Liverpool FC
The phrase “I'm running out of energy” as a description of his condition and as an explanation for his upcoming farewell caused Liverpool hearts to break.
At the same time, the "message to Liverpool supporters", which is so unusually sincere and human in the football business, is probably the final piece of the puzzle for Klopp's irrefutable legendary status in Liverpool.
His farewell would only be even better if he won another title.
Or more.
Liverpool FC is currently in first place in the Premier League, five points ahead of Manchester City (one game less), Arsenal FC from London and Aston Villa from Birmingham.
After Sunday's success, LFC are now in the round of 16 of the FA Cup.
The League Cup final will take place on February 25th at the legendary Wembley Stadium against Chelsea.
In the Europa League, Liverpool is one of the top favorites for the title, which Eintracht Frankfurt won two years ago.

Building a house in Wiesbaden: Jürgen Klopp is moving to the posh Sonnenberg district
So Klopp continues to build his monument in English club football.
At the same time, the world-class coach is preparing for life away from the dugout.
In a press conference, Klopp announced that he wanted to take a break for at least a year, but perhaps never take on a coaching job again.
Now it has become known: His new home is currently being built in one of the most upscale districts of Wiesbaden.

According to a report by the Wiesbadener Kurier, a two-story building is being built in the Sonnenberg district and is due to be handed over to the Klopps this year.
Around 16 kilometers by road from the Bruchweg Stadium in Mainz, where his coaching career began in 2001, the Klopp couple now want to be closer to the family.
The son of Ulla Sandrock, Jürgen Klopp's wife, became a father for the first time in the summer of 2023.
The timing couldn't be better for Klopp and his family to recharge the drained battery.
