Klopp's no to the national coach: Why Liverpool always has priority
Jürgen Klopp has been rejecting offers for the DFB coaching position since 2018 - his loyalty to Liverpool and the risks of a change explain his consistent no.
Jürgen Klopp has never shown interest in the national coaching position despite repeated requests. His loyalty to Liverpool and the responsibility at the Reds are clearly his top priority. Since 2018, Klopp has repeatedly been considered a possible successor to the national coach - but he declined each time.
He formulated his first clear rejection in 2018 when he emphasized that he wanted to concentrate fully on Liverpool. Even in 2021, after his time as an active player ended, his attitude remained unchanged: the club and the fans had priority. Even after the disappointing 2022 World Cup in Qatar, when the DFB signaled renewed interest, Klopp stuck to his position.
