According to his own statement, Jürgen Klopp will not succeed Joachim Löw as national football coach next summer.
"No.
I will not be available as a possible national coach in or after this summer, ”replied the star coach on Tuesday lunchtime when asked by a reporter during a press conference of his club Liverpool FC before the second leg in the Champions League round of 16 against RB Leipzig.
The 53-year-old Klopp said of the reasons: “I have a job and a three-year contract.
And I generally try to keep my contracts.
It's a simple situation. ”At FSV Mainz 05, he kept his contracts, even though clubs with more money and reputation had asked.
“In life, it's always timing.
And if it doesn't fit, you don't have to get upset, you have to deal with things, ”says Klopp.
He praised Löw for his services as a national coach.
"I'm just as surprised as everyone"

In the Premier League he lost five home games in a row with Liverpool - a historic negative run.
The qualification for the premier class is in danger, the defense of the championship title has long been ticked off.
In your opinion, who is the favorite for the Löw successor?
“I can't say anything about that.
I'm just as surprised as everyone else, and I'm the wrong person to talk to, ”said Klopp.
“There is enough time now, that is the good thing about the early decision.
I am sure that the DFB will find a good solution. "
Löw will end his job as national coach after the European championship planned for the summer.
The DFB reported that on Tuesday morning.
