BVB boss Watzke starts:
"We
had some talks recently on the initiative of Jürgen and then made the
joint decision that after seven years of incredible success will be over
at the end of the season.
We have a relationship that is built
on trust and friendship. Therefore, it is naturally a difficult
situation. Jürgen, will always have eternal gratitude from Borussia
Dortmund."

Quotes coming in from the man himself...

"I
feel that the moment that I'm not the perfect coach for this
extraordinary club would eventually come. In the last few days and weeks
I was not sure that I'm the right person. Therefore, I felt it my duty
to myself and Aki Watzke to leave my position."

Klopp:
I am sure that the decision is absolutely right. This team deserves to have the absolutely one hundred percent right coach.
It's
not that I am tired. I have no contact to another club, either in
England or elsewhere. But I do not intend to put in a sabbatical year. I
wanted to announce today so that everyone everyone at the club can plan
and adjust."
