going to manage forever, so i can understand the impact, as he said, the shock and... we will have the right time and the right opportunity to, asjurgen said, to look back and talk about his career. obviously the ride we have been on has been extraordinary. and certainly his success leadership, who he is as a person,, but the relationships as he said that have been created with a team that have been built here, is a massive credit to him. and we are all in a position, as we said, we want to get through today and focus on getting back to playing and getting on the pitch and winning football matches. but in terms of his impact it's obviously been

enormous, and as a colleague, it's been incredible last eight plus years, and as a supporter, is a fan, it's been equally so. so we hope that that continues. as he said, we've got targets ahead of us and thatis we've got targets ahead of us and that is where our focus will be. indistinct question i think he will want to comment as well, but i think from an overall perspective, the decision that was taken at the time, number one, i think for pep and vito will want to get going in their managerial careers, and that's something that... you know, we understood as well. and obviously, if they're not

going to say, they will go with our support, and anything we can possibly do to help their career going forward, we will of course do. and as i said, the team that he has built is an incredibly strong one but there is also a huge team around that group, as well, that will be here to help in terms of that experience level as well. i will take the break, _ experience level as well. i will take the break, and _ experience level as well. i will take the break, and if- experience level as well. i will take the break, and if somebody is ready. _ take the break, and if somebody is ready. and — take the break, and if somebody is ready, and they can say that, it's me, _ ready, and they can say that, it's me, they— ready, and they can say that, it's me, they are ready. the impact the boys _ me, they are ready. the impact the boys had _ me, they are ready. the impact the boys had over the years, and especially the impact pep had on the football_ especially the impact pep had on the football we play, has been incredible, i have to be thick so i'm grateful to him and i am because

ago, i think you can count them as easily as dog years, if you like, it's a really big... to get through all the stuff... you might have the opportunity to look at the picture, when i arrived here in 2015, if you look at pictures of me today, you will say, nine years only? so a lot has happened obviously since then. yes, it was the first time, actually, when i realised, because i am usually the leading part of these meetings, like, ok, that's how we do it, somebody comes to me and said, you have to do this or that, and i'm the one that says ok, we can do that... blah blah blah. and i was like 0k, that... blah blah blah. and i was like ok, proposals... that was the first moment. we still planned it. i was like a fine, it will be fine. with the preseason. because we had

to. in the most sensible way, 100%, so that's fine. but that was the moment i started thinking, and then i had to do something else, and that the football we played became better and better, the team of the potential of the team was more and more, and i was like ok, that's it. with really good manager, on top of his game, it be fun to watch. and i will do that. his game, it be fun to watch. and i will do that-— will do that. one more question. what is the _ will do that. one more question. what is the one _ will do that. one more question. what is the one thing _ will do that. one more question. what is the one thing you're - what is the one thing you're looking forward _ what is the one thing you're looking forward to— what is the one thing you're looking forward to doing _ what is the one thing you're looking forward to doing most _ what is the one thing you're looking forward to doing most when - forward to doing most when you finish? — forward to doing most when you finish? l— forward to doing most when you finish? �* ~ ., ., finish? i didn't think about that et finish? i didn't think about that yet because — finish? i didn't think about that yet because i — finish? i didn't think about that yet because i had _ finish? i didn't think about that yet because i had actually - finish? i didn't think about that yet because i had actually no . finish? i didn't think about that i yet because i had actually no time to do that, but i will find things, you can believe it. so that is fine, nobody has to worry about that. ok, thank you very much.

0k, ok, we willjust step away from that news conference there, jurgen klopp speaking at melwood training ground at that would make about his decision to step down as liverpool manager at the end of the season. he was a long liverpool ceo billy hogan. let's get some reaction with hugh ferris from our sports team, who's been listening to the press conference at anfield — liverpool's stadium. lots covered in the press conference — a range of questions from journalists. but what felt like a really frank and open conversation about this decision. first let's focus on klopp there, talking about why he's leaving the club — just talk us through his reasoning. it's very much in keeping with what you just mentioned. good afternoon. it's been a very openjurgen klopp we heard from earlier on via liverpool's official channels, and then in the last half an hour or so,

at the training ground with that press conference was a bit as a decision he's is a great deal of thought but it is also a decision he has pretty eloquently explained everybody from a very human and personal angle. we tend to, as sports journalists and fans and those who watch football, perhaps, from the bit of emotional distance, tend to think of managers and players not necessarily always as human beings. atjurgen klopp has been telling us over the course of the last few hours via those different platforms that he is a human being who has come to a very human being who has come to a very human decision, because, as he said earlier on, he is a normal guy but wants tojust find earlier on, he is a normal guy but wants to just find out what normal life might be like. he has been here at anfield for nearly nine years. during that time he has done statistically and in terms of trophies things that no other managerfor this club has trophies things that no other manager for this club has ever trophies things that no other managerfor this club has ever done. and if you consider the history that this club has come is a fairly extraordinary thing to say. and he's also done it over a period of time which is lengthy by modern standards

but perhaps not by those standards of those managers who have done those things here at anfield in decades past. he had spent all that time after realising during a meeting that was planning for next season's preseason, which happened pretty early on in the season, but he wasn't quite sure that he would be there for that preseason. it's back to thought in his mind, at which point he barely had to think about it more, he did so and he talked to his wife ulla and told the club in november that he will be stepping down as liverpool manager at the end of the season. he described himself as a sports car, a pretty good sports car that still does hundred 60, 70, hundred 80 pretty good sports car that still does hundred 60,70, hundred 80 mph, but one that only he knows is running out of gas so he thought he would have to tell everybody else before going to the petrol station and finding some more. —— 180 miles per. it's been a pretty extraordinary day. you don't often find managers who choose when they get a lead, particularly at big

clubs like here at liverpool, but it's a momentous decision not only for the man who made it but of course all those fans who will be here for the first time since that announcement on sunday in the fa cup tie against norwich. yes. announcement on sunday in the fa cup tie against norwich.— tie against norwich. yes, we've been s-ueakin tie against norwich. yes, we've been speaking to — tie against norwich. yes, we've been speaking to people — tie against norwich. yes, we've been speaking to people in _ tie against norwich. yes, we've been speaking to people in the _ tie against norwich. yes, we've been speaking to people in the hours - speaking to people in the hours since that announcement, and a lot of folk out there in the footballing world, butjurgen klopp also spoke about talking to the players. —— a lot of shock in the footballing world. talk is through the players' reaction's? it’s world. talk is through the players' reaction's? �* , ., world. talk is through the players' reaction's?— reaction's? it's a paradox, if you lie, reaction's? it's a paradox, if you lie. because _ reaction's? it's a paradox, if you lie, because it's _ reaction's? it's a paradox, if you lie, because it's a _ reaction's? it's a paradox, if you lie, because it's a strong - reaction's? it's a paradox, if you i lie, because it's a strong emotional bond withjurgen klopp, the way he manages those players makes it difficult for them to carry on, saying it's difficult to be that emotional bond and be that person to those players for such a length of time and he cannot continue that, and that is one of the reasons he is stepping down. at that emotional bond is one thing, but the players and manager and the club, they always have a slightly transactional

relationship. there is a one—year plan they always absolutely committed, because at the end of that season, you don't know if the manager will be there, you don't know if the player will be there, you might go somewhere else because he has done really well or because he has done really well or because he had been told he is not done well enough. so he said in that meeting with those players that essentially, nothing changes between now and the end of the season. our one—year bond remains exactly as it will be until the end of the season, and liverpool are five points clear at the top of the premier league at the moment. they are fighting on four fronts including the europa league in europe. so they have plenty to fight for a still and i thinkjurgen klopp in making this announcement today, notjust in making this announcement today, not just of the in making this announcement today, notjust of the players and to the club obviously back in november, but making the announcement to the wider liverpool family, the fans, today, is an attempt to draw the line in the sand, to say, this is what is happening, i needed to tell you, i love the club and the people and the fans in the city, and it is incumbent on me given the relationship to be honest with you, to be true with you. but i imagine trying to draw a line in the sand

and have it not mentioned again for the rest of the season might be rather difficult. it the rest of the season might be rather difficult.— the rest of the season might be rather difficult. it might be, yes. we willjoin _ rather difficult. it might be, yes. we willjoin hugh _ rather difficult. it might be, yes. we willjoin hugh again - rather difficult. it might be, yes. we willjoin hugh again in - rather difficult. it might be, yes. we willjoin hugh again in a - rather difficult. it might be, yes. we willjoin hugh again in a fewl we willjoin hugh again in a few moments. let's speak now tojosh sexton, editor of �*the anfield wrap'. how are fans reacting? i think there's pretty much universal shock and sadness across the fan base, which is emblematic of the fan base, which is emblematic of the unityjurgen klopp has brought to this club, a club he arrived at and the fan base he arrived at was very sort of divided and almost joyless experience because liverpool had had thejoy joyless experience because liverpool had had the joy stripped out of them by near misses and that managers down the years, and jurgen klopp was certainly not a man for near misses and he wasn't a bad manager by any stretch of the imagination, and he is going to be so limits. he stretch of the imagination, and he is going to be so limits.— is going to be so limits. he will be sorely missed. — is going to be so limits. he will be sorely missed, a _ is going to be so limits. he will be sorely missed, a lot _ is going to be so limits. he will be sorely missed, a lot of _ is going to be so limits. he will be

already talked about at least having already talked about at least having a year off and he said he said he will not manage another club in england but that sort of suggests he's got his sights set on another club or perhaps the german national team in the future. the national team in the future. the national team job seems like the most logical one in that the jobs the club have had so far, dortmund, liverpool, have been a long—term project he's been able to put a lot of time in ten women fan base is over, it's hard to see at the age he is that he would want to go through the process again —— put a lot of time in and winfan base is again —— put a lot of time in and win fan base is over. but maybe after his year off you will see that is what is best for him to stop the germanjob is not as is what is best for him to stop the german job is not as full—time and full on as club stuff. find german job is not as full-time and full on as club stuff.— full on as club stuff. and 'ust finall , full on as club stuff. and 'ust finauy. we i full on as club stuff. and 'ust finally, we had i full on as club stuff. and 'ust finally, we had that i full on as club stuff. and 'ust finally, we had that very h full on as club stuff. and just - finally, we had that very humble, very modest press conference there, it felt. jurgen klopp declined to give his best memory of liverpool, saying he would probably pick the wrong one, but what would you say his biggest achievement has been? this is the tough one really, because best memory, i have so many, i am so lucky to have been at finals

thatjurgen klopp has won trophies in and witnessjust thatjurgen klopp has won trophies in and witness just incredible nights at anfield, which, make no mistake about it, he brought those to this football club, but for me the biggest achievement was winning the biggest achievement was winning the premier league, it was the thing, i was born in 95, i had never seen liverpool win a league title, it was 30 years that liverpool is a city was without a league title and jurgen klopp brought that back to us and did it in such spectacular fashion, that in 2090 will go down forever as one of the greatest liverpool teams i've seen and he built that. —— in 2019. and none of us were able to with because of lockdown restrictions. that for me has to go down as his biggest achievement.— has to go down as his biggest achievement. , .,, ., , ., ., ., achievement. josh, really good to net our achievement. josh, really good to get your thoughts _ achievement. josh, really good to get your thoughts and _ achievement. josh, really good to get your thoughts and memories l achievement. josh, really good to - get your thoughts and memories here on bbc news. get your thoughts and memories here on bbc news-— let's just bring you some breaking news now. we're just

for the club. he has been a very popular manager, reaction has poured in today. formerfootballer popular manager, reaction has poured in today. former footballer and broadcaster gary lineker is treated, wow, huge news, what an incredible job he's done. former liverpool defender said this news was always going to be a body blow to the club whenever it came, ijust thought it would be another few years away. what a manager, what a man let's go out with a bang. the reaction has also been international. in his latest germany, the manager of bayern munich, thomas tuchel, also had this to say earlier today. translation: the had this to say earlier today. translation:— had this to say earlier today. translation: . , ., , ., ., translation: the club as one of the ve , ve translation: the club as one of the very. very best _ translation: the club as one of the very. very best in _ translation: the club as one of the very, very best in the _ translation: the club as one of the very, very best in the world. - translation: the club as one of the very, very best in the world. it - translation: the club as one of the very, very best in the world. it has i very, very best in the world. it has always managed to influence clubs everywhere you went. it turns out now all of these clubs, mainz, dortmund and now liverpool have always been run in the same way, like if it was one unit. i've experienced it myself in england, when i was at chelsea. and yes, that's a big announcement. and i have to digest it now. ads,

let's return to hugh ferris from our sports team who's been at anfield — liverpool's stadium. reaction from fans, devastated, disappointed, what would you say his secret to success is? why did he do so well? i secret to success is? why did he do so well? ~' ., secret to success is? why did he do so well? ,, ., ., , so well? i think one reason why juruen so well? i think one reason why jurgen klopp — so well? i think one reason why jurgen klopp did _ so well? i think one reason why jurgen klopp did so _ so well? i think one reason why jurgen klopp did so well - so well? i think one reason why jurgen klopp did so well at i jurgen klopp did so well at liverpool is because it's liverpool, and i thinkjurgen klopp is one of those managers who bought into the idea of what liverpool is, the city, but also, its footballing history, and it is a footballing history that has been told many a time, and the reason for that is their huge success but also, as many will know, tragedy too. and there is a bond, like almost no other, that the city has with their two football teams, but liverpool and the red hot in particular. and i think whatjurgen

klopp managed to do is not only galvanise a football team that were tenth in the premier league, they'd had a successful peak every so often in the 15 years or so before that, but that long stretch of no premier league success was lingering over them somewhat. so, yes, he found a team that needed some galvanising in terms of their footballing prowess but also, he found a relationship that he could benefit from. that was fertile. his personality could be inserted into this difficult time for liverpool football club and he found way into the hearts of the players, importantly, we talked about the emotional relationship between the manager and players earlier, but particularly the fans, and just speaking to them today, getting the tech select that you do so often from those news outlets including the bbc saying that he will be standing down, genuinely there was devastation, surprise, i can't believe that's real. because of the bond that has built up.

jurgen klopp knew how to not only put a good team out on the field and win trophies but he also knew how to defend the club and the city and speak for them, defend the club and the city and speakfor them, and defend the club and the city and speak for them, and the defend the club and the city and speakfor them, and the relationship that has built up over the 8.5, nearly nine years that he's been here at anfield was absolutely evident today when he spoke about it at length, almost every question prompted. this is the relationship that i have the club, the fans, this is why i'm saying what i'm saying now and delivering the news on the way that i am, and i think that is crucial. elemental, foundational to everything that madejurgen klopp a success here. it is personality, it's the personality he says has just meant he is running out of energy, but it's exactly that they gave him success here, perhaps more than many other modern managers have found that ability to connect with the landscape as well as the football team.— the landscape as well as the football team. and i think that related shine _ football team. and i think that related shine through - football team. and i think that related shine through during l football team. and i think that i related shine through during that press conference, especially when he spoke of being an honorary scouser, something not many people get that

title, do they? we also heard from billy hogan, the ceo, who talked about the significance of this announcement. as for the club, how quickly is it going to have to move to start finding that the new manager? there'sjust to start finding that the new manager? there's just a few months, really, untiljurgen klopp will be stepping down. really, untiljurgen klopp will be stepping down-— really, untiljurgen klopp will be stepping down. yes, they have had since november _ stepping down. yes, they have had since november so _ stepping down. yes, they have had since november so they've - stepping down. yes, they have had since november so they've had i stepping down. yes, they have had since november so they've had a l since november so they've had a little bit more time than the rest of us to consider what the plans might be, and jurgen klopp saying that he wanted the couple have the opportunity to think about the future whilst the present is still being looked at as well, with those trophies potentially, liverpool fighting on four fronts, trophies potentially, liverpool fighting on fourfronts, trophies potential to come down at the end of the season. but yes, billy hogan, the season. but yes, billy hogan, the ceo, the owners and those around them will have to think about how best to replace jurgen them will have to think about how best to replacejurgen klopp. it is a very, very important task to follow the man who has been so successful, not only with the trophies, to imagine, but also having that connection with the club

and its fans. so they have to think, not only how we are going to then take this footballing development, becausejurgen klopp talking a lot about the reason he is doing this now because the profile of the team really suits players coming in, they have a foundation to build. so there's that part of it too, but there's that part of it too, but there is a void they have to fill in terms of his personality. he admits, jurgen klopp and that he is a dominant force of the club so it's incredibly difficult to find that person, and if you mention it to jurgen klopp, he said it wasn't like that at the beginning for him, too, so they will have to find somebody who fills that gap. not only footballing ways but also in terms of the size of the man and the influence he had on this club. just beyond the team, every facet of it. he ferres at anfield, great to get your thoughts and analysis —— hugh ferris. let's take a look back atjurgen klopp's time at anfield —

here's andy swiss. he brought the glory days back to anfield with his passion, his talent and his trophies. but after nearly a decade in charge, jurgen klopp has stunned the footballing world. i will leave the club at the end of the season. i can understand that it is a shock for a lot of people at this moment when you hear it for the first time, but obviously i can explain it, i am running out of energy. i have no problem now. i think i've known it already for longer, but i know that i cannot do the job again and again and again. it was back in 2015 that jurgen klopp arrived at anfield, trying his best to dampen expectations. i'm the normal one, maybe, if you want this! but with his thrilling

brand of what he called heavy—metal football... mane, 3—0! ..and his huge charisma, jurgen klopp won over the fans and he soon won titles. in 2019 the champions league, and the following year liverpool's 30 year wait for a domestic league title came to a jubilant end. klopp had transformed the club and for his adoring fans, he will be the toughest of acts to follow. he has given everything of himself and that is why he has achieved what he has and why he means what he means to liverpool supporters and to the cultural fabric of the whole country, to be honest. jurgen klopp goes beyond football in a number of ways, but he has been ours and we've cherished him. with liverpool currently top of the league table, klopp will hope to sign up with another title, but then he says it is time to go. i've tried to explain it, i am like a proper sports car,

not the best one, but a pretty good one. can still drive 160, 170,180 miles an hour, but i am the only one that can see the tank needle is going down. the man who brought the feel—good factor to one of football's most famous clubs. now it's time for a look at the weather with darren bett. hello there. for many parts of the country it's been a dry and sunny day today. still some rather brisk winds in places. we had some gusty winds overnight on that band of cloud that swept some rain eastwards. that's long gone now, but following on from that we've seen a bit of a change to something cooler and fresher. those temperatures will drop away quickly this evening. already at 5.00pm or so those numbers are going to be sitting around six or seven degrees. whilst the winds are lighter

in the south, it's still quite blustery further north. overnight through the night we're still likely to have some gales in the far north—west of scotland. it's going to be across the northern half of scotland we continue to see the showers into the night. the odd one possible for northern ireland and then maybe into the far north of england just for a while with a bit more cloud. further south the winds will be lighter, skies will be clearer. it's going to turn quite chilly in the south—east of england, temperatures could be close to freezing by saturday morning. not quite so cold further north in scotland and northern ireland. the weekend is looking pretty good for most of us. a lot of dry weather around, some sunshine at times and those temperatures are going to be rising, as well. most of the rain, i think, as we head into saturday is going to be on that band of cloud and rain in the far north of scotland. we could get one or two spots of rain in the afternoon for northern ireland, later in western scotland, otherwise it's going to be dry. the sunshine will be a bit hazy at times, but temperatures will be higher than today at around nine or ten degrees. there is a weather frontjust sort of lurking out in the atlantic and eventually it will arrive in the far north—west of the uk, but, ahead of that, the winds

are going to be picking up. it's going to be a southerly wind on sunday and that means temperatures will continue to rise. maybe a bit more cloud around on sunday, especially around some of these western hills and coasts. the best of the sunshine likely to be across the eastern side of the uk. there's that band of rain approaching northern ireland, more especially in the north—west of scotland later on in the day. ahead of that, temperatures will be higher. it could make 1a degrees perhaps around the moray firth in that southerly wind. heading into the beginning of next week and that weather front bringing that rain in from the north—west is going to stumble its way towards england and wales. there may well be some heavy bursts of rain for a while and, and with colder air in the north—west, the risk of some snow over the scottish mountains. ahead of that rain, as it pushes into england and wales, it should still be dry across east anglia, the south—east, maybe the midlands, as well, and temperatures here could reach 1a or even 15 celsius.
