Jurgen Klopp has revealed he left Borussia Dortmund earlier than planned to help the German club land Thomas Tuchel as his successor.
Dortmund announced Klopp would leave the club at the end of the season in April 2015 - three years before his contract was due to expire. That allowed Dortmund to lure Tuchel to the Westfalenstadion two months later and Klopp to join Liverpool in the October.
Klopp's admission may hint at plans he could do the same at Liverpool. The Reds boss' contract doesn't expire until June 2026, yet he'll be approaching 11 years in charge of the club by that point and may fancy a break from the relentless job.
