Liverpool goalkeeper coach John Achterberg has announced his decision to part ways with the club.
He penned an emotional letter which was posted on his personal Instagram and the club's official website.
Achterberg wrote: “After 15 years at the club, I have decided with a heavy heart to leave LFC. It has been an unbelievable and great journey for me and my family.
“I have loved each day working at this amazing club, but after a long think I feel it could be right for me to start a new challenge.
“I would like to thank FSG for all the support during those 15 years – Mike Gordon, John Henry, Tom Werner and Billy Hogan.
“It has been a privilege to work for the biggest and greatest club in world football with its amazing supporters. Whether they are Scouse or non-Scouse I loved them all worldwide.”
“A massive THANK YOU goes to our manager JURGEN KLOPP. What joy he gives to all of us. Klopp has fulfilled all our dreams at LFC. He is one of the best managers in the history of the city, the club and world football.
“He created world-class teams with his man-management skills, he brought us back to being believers, winners, and a force in European and world football.
“For me personally, I cannot thank him enough for everything he has done for me and my family, for the trust he gave me. He allowed me to scout 'keepers to bring them in and keep developing goalkeepers to a world-class standard. I am leaving behind probably the best 'keepers and the best goalkeeping department in LFC history.
“I want to thank everyone working in the club with me over all those years and made every day a joy there. I will miss you all like crazy.
“We will always be Reds and follow everything that happens with the team and the club. It's been the best time of our lives!
“THANKS YOU, LFC!”
