It seems this is the way to go for many managers nowadays and former Dortmund manager is following suit.
He has ended speculation about his immediate future and says he will take a break for now.
Klopp, who has been linked with taking over at Liverpool, made his decision after talks with his agent Marc Kosicke on Monday.
"After seven intense and emotional years, I think it's a good idea to
let the numerous memories settle in before I take on a new challenge
with my coaching team, refreshed and fully motivated," Klopp said in a
statement published by Germany's SID agency. "I'm going to take a break
until further notice."
In his last match in charge, Dortmund lost the German Cup final to Wolfsburg
3-1 on Saturday. He won a domestic league and cup double in 2012 while
also adding two German Super Cups to the club's collection, and a
Champions League final appearance in 2013.
"The pain of leaving is slowly sinking in, it really hurts," said
Klopp after his final game on Saturday. "I've just tried to express my
thanks to each of my players because it has been an extraordinary
pleasure and a huge honor to be able to work with them.
"It's difficult for me to let go. Now there won't be a Cup party, just a farewell party."
