Klopp Rules Himself Out Of Germany Job

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp says he is not interested in replacing Joachim Low as Germany coach.

Low will step down from his role as national team boss following Euro 2022 after asking to end his contract early.

The announcement was made on Tuesday morning.

Klopp was immediately installed as one of the favourites but the 53-year-old said: “Am I available for the job after the summer? No.

“Someone else will do the job and with the number of good German managers I am sure the German FA will find a good solution.

“I have three years left at Liverpool. You sign a contract and you stick to it.”

Low, 61, took over from Jurgen Klinsmann in August 2006 and went on to guide Die Mannschaft to World Cup success in 2014, when they memorably defeated hosts Brazil 7–1 in the semi-finals.

Germany reached the semi-finals of Euro 2016, losing to hosts France, but then suffered an exit at the group stage of the World Cup for the first time in 2018 while also failing to impress in the inaugural UEFA Nations League campaign.
