​Liverpool boss Klopp: I'm not going into the office for a while!

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp admits he will take a short break from his job after his team's league title success.

The Reds and other teams have a short turnaround time this summer, as next season begins on September 12th.

But Klopp says he will stay away from the office for a brief period to celebrate the team's Premier League win, while recharging his batteries.

"I'm not going to the office for a while. I will be together with my family, that's all I need. Two weeks and a couple of days and we start again. It will be especially difficult next season - four weeks shorter [break]. We will use that and go again," he told Sky Sports.

"The boys played an incredible game, not a perfect game. Like you say in this country: a dead rubber.

"I didn't like the goal we conceded but it helped to make clear [what they faced]. We made so many changes after a long time of playing with similar line-ups. It's not fair on their judgement because they need to get used to their game.

"We really worked in the game and got better and better and better even before the changes. But the changes helped massively. I liked the game. It's far away from being perfect but over the season we did not just win games when everything was perfect, we won a lot of difficult games too."
