Jurgen Klopp has hinted he is open to renewing his Liverpool contract - but says some time away from football will be needed whenever he leaves.
Klopp extended his stay on Merseyside back in December last year when he and his backroom team signed new deals until 2024.
Those terms will keep Klopp at Liverpool for a total of nine years, dwarfing the seven-year spells he had previously with both Mainz and Borussia Dortmund in Germany.
There have been some claims that the Premier League-winning manager would be open to a spell with the German national side after his tenure at Liverpool is at an end.
And while the 53-year-old suggested he would be happy to discuss fresh terms later down the line, he insisted a year-long sabbatical will be taken when he eventually calls time on his stay at Anfield.
"A lot of people ask me this question," Klopp told Leeroy Matata, of Einfach Fussball, on YouTube.
"I have never heard someone ask Pep Guardiola about that but his contract ends next year.
"I've got four years left which feels like an eternity in football. A lot can happen during this time.
"I would assume that in four years I will think about whether to renew or not.
"If I don't renew, I'll go on holiday. When I leave Liverpool, I won't take a new job the next day. That's for sure.
"I will take a one-year break after Liverpool."
Klopp was just a few months into a planned year away from football when Liverpool owners Fenway Sports Group came calling five years ago.
He was officially appointed as Liverpool manager on October 8 2015, but the wheels had been put in motion by FSG around two weeks earlier, with the German meeting the Reds' owners in New York at the beginning of that month.
Since taking charge at Anfield, Klopp has guided the Reds to Champions League, UEFA Super Cup, FIFA Club World Cup and Premier League titles.
The champions return to action on Sunday afternoon when they travel to Chelsea.
