Jurgen Klopp has dropped his biggest hint yet over what his next move will be after leaving Liverpool.

Feeling as though he was running out of energy, the German has departed Anfield after nine years.

Klopp, who won the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup and Carabao Cup, took charge of his final game against Wolves on 19 May before clearing out his office at the AXA training centre.

He is being replaced by Arne Slot, who will officially take the post on June 1 and pen a three-year contract.

Klopp was back in Liverpool for a special farewell event at the M&S Bank Arena, taking part in a Q&A hosted by John Bishop.

He will return for Taylor Swift's concert at the arena but is planning a lengthy break from the game.

And though he isn't retiring from management, the 56-year-old doesn't see himself operating in the same way he did previously.

"It's out of the question that I'll stop working altogether," Klopp said, as per the Liverpool Echo.

"But I don't see myself continuing at the same pace as before at the moment.

"A coach is a coach. And you do it with everything you have, or nothing at all. That's how I understand it. Now I'm taking my time off. How am I supposed to know how I'll feel during or after the time off, and what I want to do then? I have no idea. Let's wait and see."

Klopp and wife Ulla have a villa in Santa Ponsa in Mallorca, which they bought two years ago and are now said to be turning into an eco-house.

Speaking to the Willipedia podcast about the move: "We are getting older and the medical care here is great. There are many German doctors and I would like to be able to understand every word, how I feel and so on, when the problems become bigger.

"I've dreamed of having a house in the south all my life. I like the weather, the climate, I like the people. There are lots of things I like here. And also people I already know. It's not like I'm looking for new friends. I already have friends for life, and if some of them are here too, that's cool.

"I don't want to emigrate. We go on holiday here every now and then. But when I'm here, I want everything to be as I know it. That's totally boring. But the point is that I want to get to know a different life, but not somewhere in the jungle or on the mountain."

Having forged an incredible connection with the club, Klopp will remain an ambassador for Liverpool and still maintain an involvement with the club's foundation.
