Jurgen Klopp has revealed more on the timing of his exit from Borussia Dortmund back in 2015, admitting former Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel played a role in his decision to depart.
Klopp enjoyed seven successful seasons with Dortmund, winning two Bundesliga titles, the DFB-Pokal and leading them to the Champions League final in 2013. However, he left at the end of the 2014/15 to enjoy a sabbatical from football, only to be lured back into management by Liverpool in October 2015.
BVB would actually only finish seventh in Klopp' s final season at Signal Iduna Park as they struggled to recreate their previous heights, prompting the German to announce that he would be leaving the club at the end of the season in April 2015.
