JURGEN KLOPP revealed he had to leave Liverpool because he was no longer at his best.
Klopp bid an emotional farewell to 11,000 fans, packed inside the M&S Bank Arena by the River Mersey, and he claimed it was time to go because he felt jaded.
The 56-year-old says he could not manage Liverpool on "90 percent" and that he did not want to be "a passenger" carried along by his coaching team.
"I know that a lot of people don't believe it when I say I'm running out of energy," he told the audience. "I don't in private life and it's not that I can't get up in the morning.
"When I talk about running out of energy, how I understand it, I know you all work hard and much harder than me, but the difference is that I get watched by the public all the time, which makes it a bit annoying from time to time.
"The main thing is that in my job you cannot do it on 90 percent. Other jobs you get through it for a week or two.
"But if you're the boss, the manager of a club like Liverpool FC, you have to be on top of your game and I feel I'm not anymore.
