'Things will never be the same again' Can Liverpool thrive after Jurgen Klopp leaves? | BBC Sport 

1:15 This quote perfectly explains what Klopp means to Liverpool. To be a Liverpool manager is more than just being a coach. Theres the expectation to connect with the city, the fans, to understand their history and the values, and to really embody what it means to be a Red. Klopp understood that, and he embraced it. Not only has he lived up to the expectations and delivered on his promise of winning the league, he has gone above and beyond to become part local culture. It doesnt just feel like a manager leaving the job, it feels like saying goodbye to an uncle or a friend.

A manager who brought a unique and refreshing approach to everything at LFC . His personal qualities set new standards in football management , as well as bringing great joy to many thousands of the Liverpool faithful . For this , we owe him eternal gratitude .

Jürgen is a friend that I will always cherish in my Heart ❤️.

MY EMOTIONS! MY EMOTIONS!!! Cannot believe he's leaving, still

I miss Jurgen already 🥹

The shock of Klopp leaving reminds me personally of a young kid being interviewed in Liverpool when Shankly left, the news was almost unbelievable. Klopp is an amazing human being, no manager ever will have his charisma and the bond he not only had with the players but the fans, the city and the culture of Liverpool. He is the greatest manager the premier league has seen, He may not of won more trophies than other managers but they didn’t have what Jurgen has, you will never hear of players or ex players saying they were badly treated by him unlike certain managers who work 32 miles away!! We will miss you Jurgen!

Jurgen and I have been best mates. But we have never met each other I've only seen him from the stands. Makes old men cry 😭 and laugh at the same time. I was so happy after a trip to Liverpool in 2022 (after CL semi at home) when he signed until 2026. BUT thanks for all the chapters in your book and we look forward to the last chapter in the best book that has ever been written. Klopp at Liverpool FC 2015-2024. Boss Tha!

Legend ❤️

Haven’t been the same since Klopp announced it. Respect it 💯. People compare trophies etc but no other fanbase will feel the loss of their managers as personally as we do for Klopp. That says it all. YNWA Norbert 👊🏽

What a manager! What a human! Thanks a million, Jürgen Klopp. ❤🇩🇪

Things will never be the same regardless which Manager comes and goes, life goes on, Liverpool will go on and the next Manager needs the same support the Fans have given Klopp

We was never going to replace shanks and then Paisley either , we will badly miss him but we will also move on . He’s up there with shanks and Bob now though as an absolute Liverpool legend .

Klopp is irreplaceable. Among the greatest managers Liverpool ever had. The new manager that is to come will find a team which represents one of the top sides of Europe. When Klopp took this team, Liverpool was bang average. It is not the players that he brought in or turned into world class. His greatest contribution at Liverpool is the elite mentality he brought to this club not the trophies won.

😢 like shankley, klopp is Liverpool forever, what a beautiful human he is, he's like everyone's dad I for sure will miss Jurgen but my love for him will last a lifetime ❤YNWA he embraced that and brought us back to where we should be ❤❤

I will cry

It’ll be less fun being a Liverpool fan.

I have a massive regard for Klopp. His love , passion and energy I have never witnessed before. He gave Pool their belief and love back. Millwall fan. 🦁

Being a manager of LFC is not just about managing the football club, it includes managing the city and the club's global fanbase. Larger than life characters like Klopp are one in a billion, that's why we should not expect anything to be the same after he departs.

Nobody bigger than the club but Shankly Paisley Kenny and now Jurgen are like four massive pillars holding up the foundations of this collosal club. They part of the club forever now. Thanks for everything boss. YNWA

He is emotion❤

The only bit of comfort from this is that Klopp said he wouldnt leave unless he thought Liverpool would be alright afterwards.

the team klopp is leaving behind is very good with nice blend of youth and still fighting at the top, new coach wont have to do a complete overhaul so its not the same as moyes or unai emry experiences just drilling new coaching methods and way of playing and bring in one or two players of his own choosing

Klopp rebuilt Liverpool but we've only won one league title since he came, so lets not presume things cannot get better post jurgen.

The energy and the way He engages fans is second to none, Yes we may find a good manager but Klopp is irreplaceable

The legend we Will miss you

Definitely go down as a fantastic manager and added to trophy cabinet, Klopp was lucky to find Liverpool. So just get behind the next boss who could win multiple league title. ❤

Will be interesting to see. Personally it’s a hard job to follow and I can us dropping off abit. In logic that team shouldn’t realistically move from where it is and where it’s been in success recently so if it did then ownership needs to take responsibility. Klopps built it so Maintain it and keep it secure. In my mind the new manager cannot fail much really the squad is there and it’s good crop of players who love the club and that so for me he can’t fail and if he did shows he’s not yet ready for it.

Think it will be a benefit. He restored the pride of the club. Now we need a younger manager to evolve us further and hopefully bring more control to pur play

Klopp is unique but you will be surprised with Ruben Amorim as well.

Guardiola is a winning machine of a manager but he doesn't connect with fans and the city of Manchester like Klopp does with us. I read somewhere recently Klopp saying, some managers collect trophies, he collects relationships, or something to that effect. Yes, he wants to win but it's more than that. It's giving people hope, not just in sport but in life. It's bringing heart, passion and a sense of belonging to people and Klopp has done that at Anfield, in Liverpool and the premier league as a whole. Opposition fans are going to miss him and that says it all. The same couldn't be said of Fergie and I don't think the same will be said of Pep when he leaves Man City. Re the next manager. I wouldn't be surprised if FSG and Edwards go for a man who is not currently being touted by the media. It wasn't a dead cert of who we were going for when Rodgers went if I recall correctly???

Maybe they’ll win the league more than once in the next 34+ years

The league title has gone , pulling back that 3-0 is the only thing to pulling back a frustrating few games when Liverpool have had so many chances and not converting them really missed Jota at the wrong time with injury.

Can’t wait to see this lot go down hill in the next few years. Fantastic

Dalglish once said that no one person is bigger than Liverpool Football Club, and he was right. Klopp is a living legend, but the club must and will go on without him.

Imagine what David Moyes had to deal with after Fergie lol

Top LAD Proper Klopper 💪😉👍

I can hear certain rival fans stating he should have won more trophies etc. They‘ll never know what it means to be part of a culture of togetherness and meaning that transcends football.

Certainly brought the hype..and for a while it seemed they were going to dominate...then their bubble burst.....Yes, he gave the club presence, but too many times it ended up being a let down, and in the last few years in conjunction with the quadruple debacles that were an affront, the moaning just took over, and still they were hyped, but did not deliver...Wish him well as a person, but LFC players need to do hold up their end on the field...they have failed him too many times. Imagine losing the league at Goodison, your arch enemy...they just did that....This club, these players have worn the man out.

Anfield Agenda is the best in the world 🌍.Liverpool for ever and Craig is the greatest in the world 🌍.♥️👩‍🌾👩‍🌾👩‍🌾♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Well things were good after shanks and yes i put jugen in the same category as shanks

Paul representing The Red TV 😊

Said exactly the same thing when Shankley left...Bob Paisley took over and the club went from strength to strength ...look on the bright side of life

For the moment no one can replace him...Liverpool will be struggle some years Anyone who will be manager nothing he can do what Kloop did for Liverpool

I really believe that with these owners next manager who ever he is LFC will be a 6 to 8 premier club not straight away players under contract but i believe the reason LFC have won things is 80% down to klopp i hope i am wrong

If the owners back the new manager it be fine

Things might just get better 👍👍👍👍

Best team in the world win loose or draw ❤️

The perfect replacement is already there. Pep lijnders. I'm amazed noone seems to mention him as next manager😢

Love Klopp..❤❤❤❤

Bill shankly was seen in a similar light to klopp and after him came Paisley who continued the success, if any team can move on it’s Liverpool! Up the reds

The same applies to me as a lifelong Liverpool supporter who supports men, women and academy teams for both genders. Lula, President of Brazil said “Supporting Corinthians is different from anything you might know supporting any other team. Because being a Corinthiano is not just about being a supporter. It is about being a militant, 24 hours a day, 365 days per year. It is like you are defending a cause. And it doesn’t matter if things are going badly, because the worse they get, the more we have faith.’”

The thing klopp achieved the title with limited resources and for the future the owners need to back the new manager to bring the success again klopp has been stubborn and some of the decisions he has made have hurt him aswell the new manager cant be stubborn he needs to be demanding

No one is bigger than the club. We love klopp and give him respect but liverpool will go on and be successful.

We are falling apart with him at the moment

Liverpool fans should expect a few years in the doll drums after Klopp. Just look at Man U after Ferguson...

Jurgen has been very special, but I remember Shankly and Paisley leaving. Never is too long a word

Liverpool fans sleeping on the fact that Salah is on his way to Saudi in the summer. ✈️

Liverpool will carry on regardless to ever is in charge no one is bigger than the club

At least he’s leaving behind a decent young squad for the next manager 👍

He should of won more with Liverpool

The man is irreplaceable

Not offering Pep Ljinders was a big mistake!!! Knows the players, same phlilosophy as Klopp!!!!Ajax got a gem already!!!!!

I think the club could have offered him a sabbatical of sorts. Take 12 months off & disconnect. Put in an interim manager. When Kenny Dalglish left this is what the club should have offered Kenny but they went forward in a direction that took the club 30 years to win a league.

Was not the same after Paisley Moran things will move on

I don’t think it’ll go well now. I’m gutted.

I keep hearing jamie caraghers voice

We havent thrived with klopp. 1 title in 9 years

We was big before klopp and will remain big after klopp. We remember we have been here before with previous managers. I don’t need to say there names. Lfc will be good

❤️❤️

Klopp took us liverpool to another Level not FSG he made us Great again of thr pitch and on it

Hii ❤❤

Jürgen, who finished fifth last season, could only manage one premier league title in over nine years at Pool and that was while stadiums were empty. I'd therefore put Jürgen as just above average. He's nowhere near the great premier league managers.

My find someone that can help you win more than 1 league

Could be even better 😏

It's a city that lives for football.

I'm not a Liverpool fan but have to say the premier league will not be the same without him. I think there's every chance Liverpool will continue to perform at the highest level and win trophies. What will change though is it will be done without one of the most charismatic managers ever to grace the beautiful game.

Club legend, one league title in 8 years.😂

Irreplaceable, except for one man.... Woy 2.0 - Unfinished business. I think it's important not to expect the next manager to be anything like Klopp but be his own man. There isn't another Klopp out there. I'm just greatful he's left us with a good platform of players. Gonna be missed big time.

Thanks Jurgen YNWA

🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼You’ll Never Win Again 👍🏼

Klopp been carrying the club on both of his shoulders and it will be a rude awakening for the reds when they realise that FSG aint any better than the Glazers as soon as Klopp is gone. If Klopp wasn't as polite of a person he is, he would've ripped FSG apart for A dropping out of the Bellingham race and B not beeing able to supervise the reconstruction of the Anfield rd stand with the stand STILL not finished publicly. LFC will be out of the TOP4 post Klopp 100% and that for quite some time.

Of course it can flourish! It's LFC!! Will it? I can't see it. FSG have been on thin ice DURING Klopp. Ticket price increase, failure to get Alonso, and a new coach next year (in addition to, I my opinion, losing a few key players in the summer) are going to ramp up the pressure exponentially on FSG. Time to dig in LFC fans! Through the thick and the thin

Have they thrived under him? One league title in 9 years - premier league legend apparently 😂

Doubters to believers ❤

Tonight was bad

Soon he will come to liverpool with Real Madrid… so move on

Warra liverpool era

people just love to forget we were 1 slip away from the title before klopp even got here. they want to put 100% of our success on him and its not true.

THE BIGGEST QUESTION NOW IS: WHO IS GOING TO REPLACE JURGEN KLOPP????????

If things will never be the same …? Even less trophies then ?

Headcoach ffs

Treble incoming- its written in the stars- they said Messi wont win world cup- but u can't stop destiny. Kop fans & LFC team are praying hard to win the treble. Angel of Good luck karma is aiding LFC to win treble..

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Liverpool think there the only ones who feel the joy off football the honestly think its different for them 🤔 😂😂😂😂 delusional

Hail to Jurgen Y N W A

Liverpool didn't thrive, Manchester City did.... 5 titles in 6 years, 1 for Liverpool.

Perhaps they will stop finishing runner up. He’s not even the best Liverpool manager ever.

You dont say lol

They will thrive the problem with Liverpool is not the manager is the club ownership. Buy low sell high and and can they get world class players. Klopp overachieve with that pathetic budget. Klopp come to Madrid

its coming to an end.. get your napkins ready
