The vacancy at Borussia Monchengladbach does not
interest Jurgen Klopp, according to the agent of the
former Borussia Dortmund coach.
Jurgen Klopp's agent has ruled the former Borussia Dortmund
coach out of the running for the vacant post at Borussia
Monchengladbach.
Despite qualifying for the Champions League last term,
Monchengladbach have endured a horrendous start this season
and a fifth loss from as many Bundesliga matches against local
rivals Cologne on Saturday persuaded coach Lucien Favre to
step down.
Klopp has been out of work since May when he ended a highly
regarded spell in charge of Dortmund, the highlight of which was
back-to-back Bundesliga titles in 2010-11 and 2011-12 as well
as a Champions League final appearance in 2013.
But the 48-year-old's representative Marc Kosicke told Bild that
the latest German top-flight vacancy does not interest his client.
"Jurgen won't become new coach of Borussia
Monchengladbach," Kosicke said.
Kosicke's announcement seemingly takes Berti Vogts' preferred
option off the table – the Monchengladbach club icon having
called for Klopp to be handed the reins at Borussia-Park earlier
on Monday.
"My advice would be to get Jurgen Klopp," Vogts told Aktuelle
Nachrichten.
"Borussia is a team you can push to the top. You just need to
wake them up and Jurgen Klopp would be perfect for that."
Klopp attended a Bundesliga match for the first time since
leaving Dortmund when he watched former club Mainz beat
Hoffenheim last Friday.
