The successful coach and the German record champion – Jürgen Klopp talks about offers from FC Bayern and his reaction. He also talks about his future.
Jürgen Klopp has rejected several offers from German record champions FC Bayern. The people of Munich asked him regularly, said the Liverpool coach in an interview with the English “Telegraph”. “I could have gone to Bayern a couple of times. I could have won more titles in my life, I would say pretty sure – at least a good chance. I didn’t do it,” said Klopp.
“The world isn’t full of winners. Hopefully the world is full of tryers. I try and and sometimes I win along with some other people. I’m happy with that,” said Klopp.
Bayern are said to have asked about Klopp at every change of manager over the past six years, including shortly before the 54-year-old signed a new deal at Liverpool in 2019. He recently signed with the Reds until 2026.
“Which club should I go to if I have a different situation? Tell me,” said Klopp. “The only thing I could do is ask Pep (Guardiola) if he’s tired of winning and I’ll take City. Is that the idea? That wouldn’t work, I don’t want to do that,” explained the former Bundesliga player -Coach of Borussia Dortmund and FSV Mainz 05.
Klopp, who led Liverpool to Champions League victory in 2019 and English championship in 2020, will battle Thomas Tuchel and Chelsea for the FA Cup on Saturday. Liverpool have already won the League Cup. In addition, the Klopp team is in the final of the premier class against Real Madrid and could even win the championship if Manchester City and coach Guardiola make a mistake. In the best-case scenario, Liverpool could end the season with a quadruple of four titles.
