Bayern Munich coach Thomas Tuchel and Borussia Dortmund boss Edin Terzic praised Jürgen Klopp, who on Friday said he will step down of his coaching position at Liverpool at the end of the season.
“I need to process the news first. I can’t say anything about it yet. Kloppo is one of the best coaches of all time. He’s always managed to influence an entire club at all his clubs. It’s huge news,” said Tuchel, who replaced Klopp at Borussia Dortmund when the later took the job at Liverpool.
Current Dortmund coach Terzic praised Klopp as “an outstanding person.”
“He has shaped our club and Liverpool like no other. I am sure that there will be another station in his coaching life there will be a place where he will do a similarly good job,” he said.
Klopp, who has won six major trophies with the Liverpool, including the Premier League title in 2020 and the Champions League trophy, announced he’s leaving the club at the end of the season.
He said that he’s “running out of energy” and that he “can’t do the job again and again and again and again.”
It’s unclear whether Klopp will take a job somewhere else or if he will take a break for some time. Liverpool are also yet to announce who will replace the German.
