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.
He says he could not manage Liverpool on “90 per cent” 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 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 per cent. 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 any more.
