Jurgen Klopp's representative answers to Liverpool manager's offer to leave Anfield this summer.
Jurgen Klopp has spent eight years at Liverpool, and there have been rumors that he may quit the Premier League club this summer for a new challenge.
Jurgen Klopp's representative has said that the Liverpool manager will not leave his current position to replace Hansi Flick as Germany's national team manager.
Die Mannschaft have had a terrible run of form under Flick, winning just four of their last 16 games. While they have already qualified for Euro 2024 as hosts, the dismal run has caused some in the German FA to panic.
Germany was humiliatingly knocked out of the last two World Cups in the group stage, and England knocked them out of Euro 2020 in the last 16. Given that the Euros will mark a decade since their last international title, it's a boogey they're attempting to break.
Flick was supposed to be the guy to put an end to it, but his treble triumph at Bayern Munich appears to be a rare shining moment in his managerial career. He is now under increasing pressure, with Klopp seen as the man who will succeed him.
During his time at Liverpool and Borussia Dortmund, Klopp was the most successful German manager in living memory, winning the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup, and Bundesliga.
However, Klopp's representation has dismissed speculation that he could leave Anfield to accept Flick's post. Mark Kosicke told BILD that "Jürgen has a long-term contract with the LFC and the DFB has a national coach, so it's not an issue for us."
While Klopp is widely regarded as the best prospect, German FA president Bernd Neuendorf and sporting director Rudi Voller continue to support Flick. But, whether Klopp is available or not, German superstar Didi Hamann believes the moment has come to make a change.
"The risk that this will go wrong with him is so great that you must act immediately." It's rapidly heading in the wrong direction. "He has lost the trust of the players," the former Liverpool player told Sky Germany.
"If it's right for the team, the boys do it themselves because they say, 'We'll go through fire for him.'" That is not the case at the time. We've been mucking around for years and believe we're the finest and greatest.
"But the fact is that we've fallen so far behind." It can't be any worse than this, so I'd also give Julian Nagelsmann a handshake."
