Klopp Distances Himself From England Manager's Job

The former Liverpool manager is currently on a sabbatical after ending his almost nine-year reign at Anfield this summer.

Klopp's name has been bundled around as one of the candidates likely to replace Gareth Southgate as Three Lions boss.

Southgate stepped down after England lost the EURO 2024 final to Spain earlier this month.

Appearing at the International Coaches' Congress in Wurzburg, Germany, Klopp was asked if there were any offers on the table.

"At the moment, there is nothing at all in terms of jobs. No club, no country," he said.

“England? That would be the biggest loss of face in the history of football if I said I’ll make an exception for you.”

"Let's see what it will look like in a few months. Nothing is coming through at the moment," he added.

"As of today, that's it for me as a coach. I didn't quit on a whim, it was a general decision.

"I've also coached the best clubs in the world. Maybe we can talk about it again in a few months.

"I still want to work in football and help people with my experience and contacts. Let's see what else there is for me."

Klopp has also managed Mainz 05 and Borussia Dortmund in the past.
