174 Danny Murphy has shared whether he believes that Jurgen Klopp could now become the next manager of Bayern Munich with the German set to leave Liverpool at the end of the season.
There is set to be another huge vacancy to fill this summer. It was announced that Thomas Tuchel will leave Bayern at the end of the campaign after a difficult time in Bavaria.
Bayern have a mountain to climb in the Bundesliga. Meanwhile, they have a deficit to overturn to make the quarter-finals of the Champions League after losing the first-leg of their last 16 tie with Lazio.
Danny Murphy cannot see Jurgen Klopp ending up at Bayern Munich
Of course, that means that Bayern, Liverpool and Barcelona will have new managers at the helm next season.
Jurgen Klopp brought the football world to a standstill last month when he announced that he would be leaving the Reds in the summer.
There is plenty of intrigue surrounding who Liverpool will turn to next, with Xabi Alonso one of the leading candidates. But there is almost just as much intrigue to see where Klopp ends up next.
Danny Murphy was asked on talkSPORT whether news of Tuchel’s departure could lead to Klopp succeeding him at the Allianz Arena.
It is safe to say that the former Reds midfielder was pretty emphatic in his response.
“I’d be amazed. He’s giving up this wonderful relationship he’s got with the Liverpool supporters and the affinity he’s got with the football club and the people and all that. To then going start working again six weeks later? No chance. He seems a man of his word, it seems a genuine reason, I can’t think of an ulterior motive that’s behind it for him to then say I’m going to be working somewhere else,” he said.
Germany job looks like obvious next move for Liverpool boss
It would be a big shock if Klopp went back on his word to take a break from the game. And when he does return, it is hard to see him going to Bayern given his relationship with Borussia Dortmund.
In many ways, the Germany job appears to be perfect for him. The fact that the demands of being Liverpool manager have played their part in his decision suggests that he may be wary of going to another club.
There is enough pressure on being in charge of the German national team for Klopp to still get that rush. But it would surely be a lot easier to take on the day to day. And Julian Nagelsmann is set to step aside this summer.
Klopp may not be Nagelsmann’s replacement. But perhaps that will prove to be the job which ultimately gets him back into the game at some stage.
