On 31 July 2024, Klopp spoke to ESPN, publicly announcing his retirement from the football world, and stating he is "done" as a coach.{{Cite web |date=31 July 2024 |title=Klopp rules out return as England, USMNT coach |url=https://www.espn.com/soccer/story/_/id/40689606/jurgen-klopp-rules-return-england-usmnt-manager |access-date=31 July 2024 |website=ESPN.com |language=en}}

Klopp is a notable proponent of Gegenpressing, a tactic in which the team immediately attempts to win back possession after losing the ball, rather than falling back to regroup.{{cite web |date=26 October 2015 |first=Barry |last=Glendenning |title=Football transfer rumours: Pep Guardiola to manage Chelsea? |newspaper=The Guardian |url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/2015/oct/26/football-transfer-rumours-pep-guardiola-to-manage-chelsea |access-date=27 December 2018}}{{cite web |title=Jurgen Klopp's tactics: What Dortmund tells us about Liverpool |url=https://www.skysports.com/football/news/15117/10027207/jurgen-klopp8217s-tactics-what-dortmund-tells-us-about-liverpool |website=Sky Sports |access-date=27 December 2018}} Klopp has stated that a well-executed counter-pressing system can be more effective than any playmaker when it comes to creating chances.{{cite web |last1=Wright |first1=Nick |title=How the pressing game is powering the Premier League's top clubs |url=https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/10611288/how-the-pressing-game-is-powering-the-premier-leagues-top-clubs |website=Sky Sports |access-date=27 December 2018}} Commenting on his pressing tactics, Klopp said that "The best moment to win the ball is immediately after your team just lost it. The opponent is still looking for orientation where to pass the ball. He will have taken his eyes off the game to make his tackle or interception and he will have expended energy. Both make him vulnerable".{{cite web |last1=Wilson |first1=Jonathan |title=Jürgen Klopp Jürgen Klopp's Liverpool and the importance of 'gegenpressing' |url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2015/oct/16/jurgen-klopp-liverpool-gegenpressing-borussia-dortmund |newspaper=The Guardian |date=16 October 2015 |access-date=27 December 2018}} The tactic requires great amounts of speed, organisation and stamina, with the idea of regaining possession of the ball as far up the pitch as possible to counter possible counter-attacks.{{cite web |last1=Díaz |first1=Rehaan |title=What makes Liverpool's gegenpressing so good? |url=https://www.sportskeeda.com/football/what-makes-liverpool-gegenpressing-so-good |website=Sportskeeda |date=5 April 2018 |access-date=28 December 2018}} It also requires high levels of discipline: The team must be compact to close down spaces for the opponent to thread passes through, and must learn when to stop pressing to avoid exhaustion and protect from long balls passed into the space behind the pressing defence. Despite Klopp's pressing tactics resulting in a high attacking output, his Liverpool side was criticised at times for its inability to control games and tendency to concede goals as well as score them.{{cite web |last1=McGuire |first1=Sam |title=Analysing Liverpool's approach to controlling games and how it can be improved |url=https://www.thisisanfield.com/2018/02/jurgen-klopps-current-approach-controlling-games-right-liverpool/ |website=This is Anfield |date=7 February 2018 |access-date=30 December 2018}} However, Klopp developed his tactics to incorporate more possession based football and more defensive and midfield organisation,{{cite news |title=Liverpool's 17-game unbeaten run a result of improved control, says Klopp |url=https://www.irishtimes.com/sport/soccer/english-soccer/liverpool-s-17-game-unbeaten-run-a-result-of-improved-control-says-klopp-1.3725304 |access-date=30 December 2018 |newspaper=The Irish Times |date=9 December 2018}} as well as overseeing the transfers of Alisson Becker, Virgil Van Dijk, Naby Keïta and Fabinho ahead of the 2018–19 season which saw Liverpool achieve their best league start in the club's history, and equal the all-time record for the fewest goals conceded at the mid-point of a top-flight season, conceding just 7 goals and keeping 12 clean sheets.

One of Klopp's main influences is Italian coach Arrigo Sacchi, whose ideas about the closing down of space in defence and the use of zones and reference points inspired the basis of Klopp's counter-pressing tactics, as well as Wolfgang Frank, his former coach during his time as a player for Mainz from 1995 to 1997 and then 1998 to 2000. Klopp himself said "I've never met Sacchi, but I learned everything I am as a coach from him and my former coach [Frank], who took it from Sacchi".

The importance of emotion is something Klopp has underlined throughout his managerial career, saying "Tactical things are so important, you cannot win without tactical things, but the emotion makes the difference". He believes that the players should embrace their emotions, describing how "[football is] the only sport where emotion has this big of an influence".{{cite news |last1=Carroll |first1=James |title=Jürgen Klopp: How positive emotion can help us today |url=https://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/first-team/330284-jurgen-klopp-liverpool-manchester-united |access-date=28 December 2018 |publisher=Liverpool F.C. |date=16 December 2018}} Ahead of the Merseyside derby in 2016, Klopp said "The best football is always about expression of emotion".{{cite news |last1=Hamouda |first1=Omar |title=Liverpool players must be prepared to "hurt" themselves in derby clash with Everton – Jurgen Klopp |url=http://www.squawka.com/en/news/liverpool-players-must-be-prepared-to-hurt-themselves-in-derby-clash-with-everton-jurgen-klopp/648517#0s3XEp9XquvkjCk2.97 |access-date=29 December 2018 |website=Squawka |date=19 April 2016}}

In his first two full seasons at Liverpool, Klopp almost exclusively employed a 4–3–3 formation, using a front three of wingers Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mané surrounding false-9 Roberto Firmino, supported by Philippe Coutinho in midfield. The foursome earned the moniker of the 'Fab Four' as they supplied the majority of the team's goals over this period of time.{{cite news |last1=Walsh |first1=Kristian |title=Why Liverpool's 'Fab Four' will not become Anfield greats until they do it consistently |url=https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/liverpools-fab-four-not-become-14015415 |access-date=28 December 2018 |newspaper=Liverpool Echo |date=9 December 2017}} Roberto Firmino's exceptionally high number of tackles for a striker under Klopp's management encapsulates his style of play, demanding a high-press from all his players and having his striker defend from the front.{{cite web |last1=Stephens |first1=Shaun |title=Roberto Firmino: The world class false nine who perfectly complements Jurgen Klopp's system |url=https://www.sportsjoe.ie/football/roberto-firmino-the-world-class-false-nine-who-perfectly-complements-jurgen-klopp-153181 |website=Sports Joe |date=7 March 2018 |access-date=28 December 2018}} Following Coutinho's departure in January 2018, the remaining front three increased their attacking output and continued to create chances as Salah won the Premier League Golden Boot in 2018,{{cite news |last1=Bevan |first1=Chris |title=Liverpool v Roma: How Reds have adapted since selling Philippe Coutinho |website=BBC Sport |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/43860388 |access-date=28 December 2018}} before sharing the award with his team-mate, Mané, in 2019.{{cite web |url=https://www.premierleague.com/news/1215671 |title=Aubameyang, Salah and Mane share Golden Boot |publisher=Premier League |date=12 May 2019 |access-date=1 June 2019}} In the early part of the 2018–19 season Klopp, at times, used the 4–2–3–1 formation, which he had previously used at Dortmund. While this was partially to account for a number of injuries to key players, it also allowed Klopp to accommodate new signing Xherdan Shaqiri, playing Roberto Firmino in a more creative role and allowing Salah to play in a more central offensive position.{{cite news |last1=Matchett |first1=Karl |title=Jurgen Klopp discusses Liverpool tactics and formation changes |url=https://www.thisisanfield.com/2018/11/jurgen-klopp-discusses-liverpool-tactics-and-formation-changes/ |access-date=28 December 2018 |website=This is Anfield |date=14 November 2018}}{{cite news |last1=Squires |first1=Theo |title=The formation conundrum facing Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool |url=https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/formation-conundrum-facing-jurgen-klopp-15363751 |access-date=28 December 2018 |newspaper=Liverpool Echo |date=3 November 2018}} However, for the remainder of the season, the 4–3–3 formation, as with the previous two seasons, became Klopp's preferred setup as his side finished as runners-up in the Premier League and reached a second consecutive Champions League final,{{cite web |last1=Robertson |first1=Grace |title=Can Liverpool Make it Six in Madrid? |url=https://statsbomb.com/2019/05/can-liverpool-make-it-six-in-madrid/ |website=StatsBomb |date=31 May 2019 |access-date=1 June 2019}} where Klopp won his first Champions League title as a manager.

Liverpool has confirmed that Krawietz would leave Liverpool at the same time as Klopp, at the end of the 2023/24 season.{{Cite web |last=Lusby |first=Jack |date=26 January 2024 |title=Liverpool reveal key staff members will leave club with Jurgen Klopp |url=https://www.thisisanfield.com/2024/01/liverpool-reveal-key-staff-members-will-leave-club-with-jurgen-klopp/ |access-date=24 March 2024 |website=This Is Anfield}}

Pepijn Lijnders, known as 'Pep' for short, is another of Klopp's assistant managers. Lijnders was already at Liverpool when Klopp arrived in 2015, having joined the club the year before under Brendan Rogers as under-16s coach, and then been named first-team development coach in the summer of 2015.{{Cite web |date=2 January 2018 |title=Pepijn Lijnders leaves Liverpool to take charge at NEC Nijmegen |url=https://www.espn.co.uk/football/story/_/id/37541899/pepijn-lijnders-leaves-liverpool-take-charge-nec-nijmegen |access-date=24 March 2024 |website=ESPN}} A Dutchman himself, he left for the Eerste Divisie in January 2018, having accepted to manage Dutch club NEC Nijmegen. He rejoined Klopp's coaching staff at Liverpool in May 2018, as assistant manager. Lijnders is more hands-on, taking an active role in training sessions and being a vocal figure on the touchline.
