Pep Guardiola has expressed his belief that it will be beneficial for Jurgen Klopp to take a break from football and gain some perspective. This comes after the surprising and unexpected announcement from Klopp that he would be departing from Liverpool at the end of the season, irrespective of the team’s achievements.

Klopp, who has been at the helm of Liverpool for over nine years, cited the lack of energy as a driving factor behind his decision to step away from the club. At present, Klopp does not have another job lined up, and it seems that he intends to take some time off from the game.

Guardiola, drawing from his own experience, emphasized the advantages of stepping back from the pressures of football. He took a year-long sabbatical after leaving Barcelona and understands the importance of gaining perspective.

However, like Guardiola who went on to manage Bayern Munich after his break, the Manchester City manager fully anticipates that Klopp will return to management in the future. Guardiola shared his thoughts with TNT Sports, expressing that he believes Klopp will return to football after some much-needed rest and relaxation.

Guardiola believes that taking a break can help Klopp get a better understanding of his life and desires, which is often difficult to do when constantly immersed in the world of football.

While reflecting on the impact that Klopp’s Liverpool has had on Manchester City, Guardiola acknowledged that Klopp is one of the best managers in the game and expressed hope that he would soon return to the football scene, refreshed and ready to go.

The noteworthy duels between Liverpool and Manchester City in the Premier League title race have contributed to a higher level of competition, making both teams better. Guardiola highlighted that Klopp’s presence in football has elevated the game, and his return to the dugout will be eagerly awaited.
