Jurgen Klopp‘s desire to leave Liverpool after the 2023-24 season was announced to the players before training on Friday morning; the supporters and the rest of the world learned shortly afterward via video message. He had notified Liverpool’s owners, Fenway Sports Group, in November so that they could begin to plan for succession.

Both must have realized that the search for a successor — not a replacement, because it would be unfair to set the bar that high — meant that his impending departure could only be kept secret for so long before you had to tell the world and put an end to any rumors in the embryonic stage. It turned out that the appropriate day to make the announcement was Friday.

Along with the news of Jurgen Klopp’s departure, what else is making headlines is his sexuality. Since he regularly speaks out about gays and the LGBTQ+ community and supports them, many people wonder if he is gay. Well, we’ve got you covered.
