In what is possibly the most unexpected announcement of 2024 already, Jurgen Klopp recently announced that he plans to step down as Liverpool's head coach come the end of the season. This is after the German suggested he wants to experience a normal life before it is too late.
'Liverpudlians' will be quaking at the knees after this announcement, especially when you think of how far Klopp has taken the team. Three UEFA Champions League Finals, multiple trophies, and a huge improvement, it is no question that Klopp will leave to tumultuous applause.
Marcus Rashford has hit the headlines again after some questionable 'off-field' behavior. The 26-year-old recently missed a training session due to illness, when in fact, he was out in night clubs until 3 am. Rashford has since been fined 2 weeks' worth of wages and has been through the necessary disciplinary routes with manager, Eric Ten Hag.
