""I missed nothing in my life because I never thought about it," Klopp said. "So during almost 25 years, I twice went to a wedding -- one of them was mine and the other one was two months ago. In 25 years, I have been four times at the cinema -- all in the last eight weeks. It's now nice to be able to do it."
""Think about your absolute movie star," he added. "For me, Daniel Craig, James Bond. And you think, 'Oh my God, he's James Bond!' I would think: Where is he right now? What is he doing? "But in the end, he gets up in the morning, he brushes his teeth. He's on a film set and a film set is not what we see later in the cinema. You're sitting there and you do the same scene 25 times. You don't think about these things."
"Former Liverpool boss Jürgen Klopp has revealed the demanding nature of elite-level coaching and expressed his shock that Pep Guardiola still finds time to play golf. Klopp, 58, stepped away from coaching in May 2024 after almost nine years in charge at Liverpool citing feeling burnout. He has since been working as head of soccer for the Red Bull group and their fleet of clubs. In an interview with The Athletic, the German coach again said he is unlikely to return to coaching anytime soon."

He reflected on the all-consuming nature of elite management, comparing managers' routines to repetitive film shoots and expressing surprise that Pep Guardiola still finds time to play golf.
