As it seems to be the cool thing to do in football management these days, Jurgen Klopp has decided to take something of a sabbatical following his final season with Borussia Dortmund.
The Bundesliga side will march on next season with new coach Thomas Tuchel while one of Europe's most prominent managers looks set to simply take a break from the beautiful game.
“After seven intensive and emotional years of ‘true love,’ I think it makes sense to take time to take stock of the countless memories before me and my fellow coaching team embrace a new challenge, fresh and highly motivated,” Klopp told the media on June 1 (h/t the Guardian).
