Liverpool boss Klopp lays out his retirement plan

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp doesn't believe he'll be working in management when he's 70.

Currently 55-years-old, the German is still some way of this number and cannot see himself still involved in the game by the time he reaches this point in life.

Klopp, who joined the Reds in 2015, has opened up on why this is the case when speaking on the Michael Calvin's Football People Podcast.

"The job is incredibly demanding, it is, but it's great as well," he said. "That's why I say when Roy Hodgson came back again to Crystal Palace and I ask him 'why go out again?' and he said 'I love it'.

"I cannot see myself being 70 and being on the dugout in whatever weather and training for one or two hours. I can't see that but I understand a little bit where they are coming from. I hope then that other things are that interesting to me and I am really fine with not being involved anymore."
