Former Liverpool captains Steven Gerrard and Jordan Henderson have shared their reactions to the shocking announcement that Jurgen Klopp will leave Anfield at the end of the season. 

Klopp announced on Friday that he would step down at the end of the season because he's 'running out of energy'. 

Following his announcement, both Gerrard and Henderson took to Instagram, sharing the news with a single heart emoji. 

While it's unlikely that the pair coordinated their responses, fans noticed the pair sharing the same reaction following the duo's short spell together in Saudi Arabia.

Gerrard briefly worked as a youth coach during Klopp's reign at Liverpool, while Henderson was captain from when the German arrived in 2015 until the England midfielder left the club last summer.

Klopp in his announcement said this is not the time for goodbyes, reflection or lengthy emotional messages and wants to focus on the end of the season.

In the bombshell interview on Friday morning that rocked the sport, the 56-year-old German boss - who has won the Premier League, Champions League, the FA Cup and Carabao Cup across nine years at Anfield - hinted he may never manage in football ever again.

Stunned supporters declaring it as 'the worst day of their lives' and said it was 'like a family member had died'.

Klopp became renowned for his passionate displays on the touchline, bust-ups with rival managers, snappy retorts at journalists and often hilarious moments and displays of his lighter side in press conferences.

He was also a vocal critic of the Premier League's notoriously jam-packed fixture schedule - and would never hold back if he felt his team had been on the wrong end of a bad refereeing or VAR call.

Klopp took over Liverpool in 2015 from Brendan Rodgers, tasked with overhauling a struggling side that had come close to winning trophies, but had often fallen short.

He had to be patient for his first piece of silverware - which came in 2019 as his side beat Tottenham in the Champions League final.

One year later, he led his team to their first Premier League title win in 30 years as they romped to victory with 99 points to see off their bitter rivals Man City.
