'The biggest loss of face' - Klopp addresses England rumours

Former Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has ruled himself out of the running for the England manager's job.

England are currently undergoing a managerial search after Gareth Southgate left his post following the Euro 2024 final defeat to Spain.

The Three Lions have been linked with a number of potential candidates, including Graham Potter, Lee Carsley, Eddie Howe and Mauricio Pochettino.

Klopp has also been among those mentioned as a potential successor to Southgate despite announcing his intention to take a break following his Liverpool exit.

However, the 57-year-old has now ruled himself out of the race to manage the Three Lions, insisting that it would be the " biggest loss of face" if he was to make a U-turn to take on the England job.

'The biggest loss of face' - Klopp addresses England rumours

Klopp has no plans to replace Southgate as England boss

Speaking at the International Coaches' Congress in Wurzburg, Klopp said: "That would be the biggest loss of face in the history of football if I said, 'I'll make an exception for you.'

"I know how lucky I am in this situation. There are a lot of managers here and the situation where the phone doesn't stop ringing and you can go anywhere is a fortune that few have. However, the timing couldn't be worse to contact me."

When asked about whether he had received any job opportunities, Klopp insisted that he had no immediate plans to make a return to management.

"I have nothing to say about that," the ex-Liverpool boss said. "It doesn't matter who calls: In my resignation statement, I said that I wouldn't coach any country or club for a year.

"Some people must have missed that part. The very next day, someone called, and I said, 'Are you crazy? I just explained that yesterday'."

Klopp drops hint over future plans

Klopp also hinted that the Liverpool job may have been his last managerial role, admitting that he is unsure whether he will coach again in the future.

"I will work at something," Klopp added. "I'm too young to just play padel tennis and only spend time with my grandchildren.

"Will it be coaching again? I would actually rule that out at the moment. We'll see how things look in a few months. Right now, nothing is coming through."

The ex-Borussia Dortmund boss is taking a well-deserved break after calling time on his successful nine-year stay as Liverpool manager.

Klopp won eight trophies during his time with the Merseyside club, including the 2019-20 Premier League title and the 2018-19 Champions League. body check tags ::
