Liverpool fans were left in disbelief last Friday when Jurgen Klopp announced his plan to leave Anfield at the end of this season.
Klopp has been in charge of the Reds since October 2015 and done a stellar job. He’s won the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup, Carabao Cup, European Super Cup, Club World Cup and Community Shield at Liverpool since replacing Brendan Rodgers.
Klopp’s success on Merseyside is remarkable, as they were 10th in the Premier League when he took over and hadn’t won a trophy for more than three years. Many Liverpool fans are worried the German’s successor won’t be able to emulate his success.
Losing Klopp is a huge blow to Liverpool’s owners Fenway Sports Group (FSG), but it’s not the first time they’ve been snubbed by one of the best in the business. Back in 2002, FSG suffered a similar blow at Fenway Park – the home of MLB giants Boston Red Sox.
