Klopp casts doubt over long-term Liverpool future

Published on: 22 December 2017

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp admits winning his next trophy could be a watershed moment for him at Anfield.

Seven years has been his limit in his two other managerial jobs, German sides Mainz and Borussia Dortmund, and says he knows when it is time to go.

When asked if he could stay at Liverpool for two decades like Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, Klopp said: “Stay here 20 years? Don't know, don't know.

“So far, after seven years I've felt maybe I should move on.

“A few weeks ago, I saw a statistic for the longest-serving coaches in the Bundesliga and I'm the record coach of two clubs — Mainz and Dortmund.

“It would be quite difficult to become the record coach at Liverpool. I don't know.

“As long as it works really, really well, I will carry on.

“That means as long as there is space for improvement because even if you win something, which everyone here is desperately waiting for, it could be the moment I say, 'OK, but now we have to leave.'

“So far I think I have a very good feeling for these moments.

“In both situations, I think it was the right moment for both sides, for both parties, the clubs and me.

“We will see. I don't feel I am close to that moment and everything is fine."
