Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp says that he expects to retire from coaching before the age of 60.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has claimed that he expects to retire from coaching before the age of 60.

The 49-year-old, who is almost a year into his spell at Liverpool, began his managerial career at Mainz 05 in 2001 before spending seven years in charge of Borussia Dortmund.

Klopp signed a new six-year deal with the Reds in July, which will keep him at the club until 2022, but he does not envisage still being in football management for more than a decade.

"There will come a day where I decide it has been enough," Klopp told RedaktionsNetzwerk Deutschland. "I would say it is very, very unlikely that I will still be coaching at the age of 60.

"I will definitely return to Germany to live there, but I do not know whether I will return to Germany as a coach. I have no plans to annoy someone who does not want me around with my presence at the end of my managerial career.

"And if Mainz, Dortmund and Liverpool turn out to be the only three clubs I have coached at the end my career, at least it has been with great clubs."

Liverpool are currently fourth in the Premier League table after taking 13 points from a possible 18.
