Jurgen Klopp has ruled out taking over as England manager and hinted at his retirement from managing. The German left Liverpool at the end of last season following nine successful seasons in command, during which he won a slew of major awards and ended the club's 30-year wait for a Premier League title.
Klopp has been linked with the England manager position following Gareth Southgate's decision to stand down after Euro 2024. However, the 57-year-old stated that he has received no offers and expressed his wish to take a sabbatical from football. "Nothing at all." Nothing job-related. No club, no country. "Some people must have missed that part," he said at the International Coaches' Congress in Wurzburg.
When asked directly about England, he remarked, "That would be the biggest loss of face in football history if I said, 'I'll make an exception for you.'" Klopp stated he plans to return to work after a sabbatical, although it might not be in the dugout. "I'll work on something," he added. "I am too young to just play padel and spend time with my grandchildren. "Will we be coaching again? I would actually rule that out right now. We will see how things go in a few months. Right now, nothing is coming in."
