Jürgen Klopp has once again made it clear why the job of national coach is currently not an issue for him.
“It is initially an honor that I was asked.
But I say: No, I have a contract, and even if Liverpool throws me out of here: When my time here is up, I'll take a year off, "said the coach of English champions Liverpool FC in an interview with" Sky ".
And Klopp affirmed: “It just doesn't work that way.
And accordingly: No. "
National coach Joachim Löw announced on Tuesday that he would leave after the EM in the summer.
Klopp thinks this timing is okay.
“Three months before the EM, that's not a problem.
The association now has time to think about it. "
Klopp said he didn't even think about the national coaching job.
"In the job there are no resources free to dream somewhere else," emphasized the ex-coach of FSV Mainz 05 and Borussia Dortmund.
And the 53-year-old didn't leave a back door open for a later date either.
“We will have a new national coach.
And if that is successful, neither in 2024 nor in 2026 will any rooster crow at me. "
Klopp is fighting for a conciliatory moment in the Champions League

Previously, numerous celebrities had expressed the opinion that Klopp would be the ideal successor for Löw.
Former national coach Berti Vogts (74) had campaigned for Klopp.
"Klopp definitely belongs on the list of possible Löw successors," he told the "Rheinische Post".
Klopp has a contract with Liverpool until 2024. According to "Bild", he should collect around 18 million euros in salary per year alone

Exactly one year ago that Leipzig threw Tottenham out of the Champions League in front of 42,146 fans.
Now both round of 16 encounters with Liverpool will be played in Budapest - without spectators, without a home advantage.
“This is a situation that I don't quite understand either.
If you look at the incidences of Liverpool, Leipzig and Budapest there is one place where there is no way to gamble.
And Liverpool and Leipzig are not, ”said Klopp.
According to media reports, the seven-day incidence in the Hungarian capital is many times higher than in the other two cities.

Klopp's coaching colleague Julian Nagelsmann has not yet dealt with the job as national coach and does not want to do so in the foreseeable future.
"I definitely want to stay the club coach for the next few years," said the Leipzig coach.
Whether the task might appeal to him at some point cannot be answered really well because of the long time.
But of course it is an honor for every coach to be the national coach of a very successful football nation.
But for me currently and not yet an issue for the next few years, ”said the 33-year-old.
