Jurgen Klopp will not manage both Liverpool and Germany at the same time, reports claim. The 56-year-old is again linked with managing his country but he will not be combining it with his Anfield role.<\/p>\n
Germany sacked Hansi Flick on Sunday following the shock 4-1 friendly defeat to Japan less than 24 hours earlier. It was the third successive loss the former Bayern Munich boss had suffered.<\/p>\n
Flick oversaw losses against Colombia and Poland in June and was winless in his last five matches in charge. The 58-year-old lasted just two years in the role after replacing Joachim Low.<\/p>\n
Klopp has long been linked with the Germany job and has only seen talk increase throughout his tenure at Liverpool. He led the Reds to their first top-flight title in 30 years in 2020 and reached three Champions League finals in his first seven seasons in charge, winning one of them.<\/p>\n
Former Eintracht Frankfurt striker and Bundesliga expert Jan Aage Fjortoft suggested over the weekend that German authorities will attempt to lure Klopp, even if it meant he took the national job alongside his Liverpool duties. Fjortoft wrote on X: “The Germans\u2019 dream is Klopp.<\/p>\n

But guess he will turn that down.”<\/p>\n However, Sky Sport Germany says there is no way Klopp will do both jobs at the same time. The news will come as a blow to DFB as that will likely rule Klopp completely out of the running.<\/p>\n He has previously stated he will remain loyal to Liverpool for the length of his contract. Klopp only signed a new deal at Anfield in April 2022 to commit his future to the club until 2026.<\/p>\n Speaking in June, Klopp did not rule out managing Germany one day. But he insisted he would not quit Liverpool to take the role.<\/p>\n We use your sign-up to provide content in ways you’ve consented to and to improve our understanding of you.

The problem that stands in the way of the whole thing is my loyalty.<\/p>\n “I can\u2019t just leave Liverpool now and say I\u2019ll take over Germany for a short time. That doesn\u2019t work and the request isn\u2019t even there.<\/p>\n “If I\u2019m supposed to do that [manage Germany] at some point, then I have to be available and I\u2019m not currently. I have a responsibility towards the club.<\/p>\n “Basically, it\u2019s an interesting job. But I don\u2019t know yet whether I\u2019ll do something completely different after I leave Liverpool. I want to keep my options open.”<\/p>\n
