Wenger understands Klopp leaving Liverpool: But I loved my career

Former Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger can understand Jurgen Klopp deciding to leave Liverpool.

Klopp will depart Anfield at the end of the season.

"I have never felt that way. I respect what he did. I thought he was very good at the press conference," the Frenchman told BeIN Sports.

"It's not more stressful (than the past). First of all, you need to know a person's situation. Does that person miss having a normal life? I dedicated my life to football, only.

"I didn't miss the normal life and discovered that there was a normal life only when I quit."

The 74-year-old is clear that he does not regret that he lasted so long.

"No. I would say that I miss the intensity of this life. I got to experience it because football was, and still is, so important to me. It seemed normal to me. I could live with the pressure. The cardiologist might say no to that!"
