The news of Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool departure at the end of the 2023/24 season has hit fans like a ton of bricks and shocked the entire football world in the process.
The German's iconic spell on Merseyside was always going to end at some point but the mid-season announcement came from nowhere as he explained he no longer has the energy to keep giving the job what it needs.
Klopp is set for some well-earned time away from the game after breathing fresh life into one of the biggest clubs in the world and turning them into a winning force again.
Winning has become the norm for Liverpool again under Klopp and the overall Premier League table since his arrival backs that up.
Klopp became Liverpool manager on 8 October 2015, taking over from the struggling Brendan Rodgers who was dismissed for a poor start to the season having come so close to winning the Premier League title the previous campaign.
The German, who had left former club Borussia Dortmund earlier that year, arrived with Liverpool sat in tenth place eight games into the 2015/16 season, winning only three matches and scoring just ten goals.
There wasn't immediate success for Klopp at Liverpool in a league sense, but there was clear improvement in terms of style. Liverpool became far more interesting and entertaining to watch and despite still finishing as low as eighth, the Reds were the fifth-highest scorers in the 30 games he was in charge for and they were only six points away from fourth.
