Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool’s seven years of poor cycle

DBasia.news – Jurgen Klopp’s reputation as a coach is unquestionable. But his work with Liverpool is now being haunted by a seven-year cycle.

Klopp became the first manager to win the Premier League trophy for Liverpool. He was also able to present the Champions League trophy, Club World Cup, FA Cup and League Cup.

Last Saturday (8/10), Klopp marked his seven years in charge of Liverpool. However, the current condition of the Reds has been dreadfull.

Liverpool are still stumbling from the Premier League title race. His gegenpressing tactics seemed to have begun to be learned by the opponent.

No wonder many have predicted end of Klopp and Liverpool’s time. Especially if you look at the seven-year cycle in the 55-year-old man’s coaching career.

Throughout his career, Klopp has only managed three clubs. Before Liverpool, he first coached Mainz and Borussia Dortmund.

Interestingly, Klopp always left his previous clubs when he entered his seventh year. He has not been able to stay at a club for eight years.

Klopp certainly can not avoid the seven-year cycle. But he confirmed his determination to stay longer at Liverpool.

“I can understand that I left after seven years and now we are in a difficult situation. But when you think about it, you realize the situation is completely different,” Klopp said.

“The seven year cycle wasn’t planned or because I lost energy.”

Klopp also shared his reasons for leaving Mainz and Dortmund after seven years of service. He felt the two situations were different and unintentional.

“I was a manager at Mainz and after three years, we were promoted to the Bundesliga. Three years later we were relegated.”

“We are trying one more year and the club needs a change. The players left us for Bundesliga careers so they need a fresh start.”

Meanwhile, Klopp’s story at Dortmund is similar to what he is experiencing now. Having brought Die Borussen to an era of glory, he had difficulty to keep his team from competing at the top level.
