Klopp: I’m still focused on Dortmund

The influential coach is leaving in the summer

Jurgen Klopp insists he is still focused on Borussia Dortmund, even though he will leave the club at the end of the season.

Klopp has been the manager of the Bundesliga club for seven years, but recently announced he will depart after a tough season at BVB.

However, the 47-year old admitted he didn’t want to take a break from management, stirring up speculation he will be a Premier League boss come next campaign.

Despite this, Klopp remains committed to the cause at the Westfalenstadion and looks to see off his last few games in style before thinking about his future.

‘I’m not interest in what the Premier League thinks of me’

He said: “I’m not interested in what the Premier League thinks of me, I’m just looking forward to the rest of our season.”

The German has been consistently linked with the Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City jobs since his shock revelation. Arsenal are searching for a long-term replacement for Arsene Wenger, who will have been the gaffer at Arsenal for 20 years come 2016.

On the other hand, Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers and City manager Manuel Pellegrini are both under pressure after disappointing campaigns at their respective clubs, but they are both confident that their jobs are safe.

In a recent press conference, Rodgers said: “Three months ago I was a tactical genius, performing to a good level. We lost some important games and now I’m not so good. That’s football, people will speculate.”

Whereas Pellegrini stated: “The owners haven’t told me what they need but you are wrong if you think that, at this club, if you don’t win the title then you’re out.”

Jurgen Klopp certainly has the pedigree as a manager. He was won two Bundesliga titles, a DFB Pokal and been a Champions League runner up as the head coach of Dortmund.
