Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has ruled out taking the Germany national team job, reiterating that he plans to complete his contract at Liverpool.
Hansi Flick is under pressure in the Germany hotseat after a run of four wins in 16 games.
Klopp says leading the national team would be a ‘great honour’ but insists will see out his deal with the Reds, if they’ll have him, which runs until 2026.
“The job of national coach is and would be a great honour — there’s no question about that,“ Klopp said.
“The problem that stands in the way of the whole thing is my loyalty. I can’t just leave Liverpool now and say I’ll take over Germany for a short time. That doesn’t work and the request isn’t even there.
“If I’m supposed to do that [manage Germany] at some point, then I have to be available and I’m not currently. I have a responsibility towards the club.
“Basically, it’s an interesting job. But I don’t know yet whether I’ll do something completely different after I leave Liverpool. I want to keep my options open.”
