Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp plans to take a break from football for a year once his time in charge at Anfield finishes at the end of the season.
Klopp said he lacked the energy to go on as he made a shock announcement on Friday that he will step down in May.
The 56-year-old German has previously been linked with taking over his country's national team.
But Klopp, who has won the Champions League and Premier League among seven trophies since taking over at Liverpool in 2015, said his immediate plan was for a break and that he would never manage another English club.
"Whatever will happen in the future I don't know now but no club, no country for the next year. No other English club ever, I can promise that," said Klopp at a press conference.
A journeyman defender who spent the vast majority of his playing career at Mainz, Klopp has become one of Europe's leading coaches for the past two decades.
He enjoyed success in seven-year spells in charge of Mainz and Borussia Dortmund, where he won two Bundesliga titles, before joining a crisis-hit Liverpool in 2015.
Over the past nine years, he has transformed the club's fortunes on and off the field with the money from repeated success in the Champions League enabling Liverpool to redevelop two stands at Anfield and build a new training ground.
