After seven wonderful years at Signal Iduna Park, the German boss has asked for his contract to be terminated this summer amid this season's turmoil.

Borussia Dortmund and their boss Jurgen Klopp have become inseparable over the years. The sight of the German boss shouting from the BVB dugout, his burst at referees, his crazy leaps into the air every time his side score has become synonymous with the Bundesliga side.

However, this will soon come to an end. The 47-year-old manager has asked Borussia Dortmund chief Hans-Joachim Watzke to terminate his contract, as revealed by the coach himself in a press-conference, deciding to depart from the club this summer.

"It's not that I'm tired, I've not had contact with another club but don't plan to take a sabbatical," he said.

Klopp confirms he will leave BVB this summer

Klopp is highly regarded as one of Europe's most talented coaches, having led die Schwarzgelben to back-to-back German league titles and a UEFA Champions League final back in 2012.

At the helms at Signal Iduna Park since 2008, Klopp has been struggling to guide BVB to the heights the fans have become accustomed with. Having battled relegation throughout most of the season, they currently sit in 10th spot, 37 points behind leaders Bayern Munich.

Revealing his intentions to depart in a news conference, Klopp continued to say: "I always said in that moment where I believe I am not the perfect coach anymore for this extraordinary club I will say so.

"I really think the decision is the right one. This club deserves to be coached from the 100% right manager."

"I chose this time to announce it because in the last few years some player decisions were made late and there was no time to react."

Popular German tabloid BILD first broke the news, reporting that the former Mainz boss, whose current contract with BVB runs until 2018, will be quiting the club at the end of the season to take a break from football.

The German manager has become somewhat of a legend among the club's faithful, so news of his evident departure came as a heartbreak to the fans. People across the world paid tribute to the manager, whilst others speculated where he could be headed to next.

Reaction to Klopp's bombshell 

It is believed that his next destination will be the English Premier League, with Manchester City tipped as favorites to land him. Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool, Real Madrid and Barcelona are all rumored to be interested in Jurgen as well.
