Sir Alex Ferguson's silent departure from Manchester United left an indelible mark on football management.
His decision to withhold the news until his team clinched the Premier League title in 2013 exemplified his mastery of psychological tactics.
Contrastingly, Jurgen Klopp's public announcement of his departure from Liverpool led to unintended consequences.
Firstly, by disclosing his exit, Klopp inadvertently increased pressure on his players to secure silverware before his departure.
The heightened expectations weighed heavily on the team, potentially affecting performance.
Secondly, Klopp's announcement may have emboldened rival teams to challenge Liverpool more aggressively, eager to seize the opportunity presented by his impending departure.
Klopp's decision raises questions about the timing and manner of managerial transitions.
While transparency is valued, maintaining confidentiality until the end of the season could have shielded the team from unnecessary distractions and pressure.
The Merseyside club have been losing some winnable encounters recently and it is really concerning.
