Jurgen Klopp has revealed he was powerless to stem Liverpool’s devastating form collapse that marred his last weeks at the helm.
With the Premier League title within sight and the Europa League apparently theirs for the taking, a catastrophic 13-day period saw the Reds’ dreams shattered by Atalanta, Crystal Palace, and Everton, despite having scooped the Carabao Cup earlier in Klopp’s last season.
Fans were dreaming of a fairy tale farewell for one of Anfield’s most cherished icons after the German manager shocked the football world in January by announcing that he would retire at the end of the 2023–24 season.
According to the Daily Star, despite acknowledging that he was “running out of energy” when he decided to resign, Klopp was left feeling helpless and unable to motivate his team when it counted most.

“It’s a bit like… we built a long time and we couldn’t use the basis we created,” Klopp reflected in the fresh Amazon Prime Video doc ‘Doubters To Believers Liverpool FC: Klopp’s Era’, captured just after the crushing Everton loss.
Klopp exudes calm as he reflects on his stint with the Reds in a documentary, saying: “I’m sitting here now and I’m absolutely fine with what happened, that’s it, and I just want to enjoy by last two-and-a-half, three weeks at this wonderful club.”
Klopp muses in the finale: “I’m relatively sure that I will not work as a manager any more.
“And now somebody will come in full of dreams, full of energy, full of excitement and full of new ideas, rightly so, and will lead the club into that future. It’s great.”
