Borussia Dortmund will announce on Wednesday the departure of their
manager, Jurgen Klopp, at the end of the season. The BVB manager has
asked the club to be released after enduring a difficult season and
Dortmund have called a press conference on Wednesday, the Guardian
reports.
Representatives of the 47-year-old have already received several
inquiries for his services since the news of his departure broke
on Wednesday morning but they have not entered any formal contract
negotiations. Klopp is expected to take the next few weeks to carefully
weigh up his options. Unlike Pep Guardiola and Thomas Tuchel, however,
he is unlikely to take a sabbatical from football altogether.
It has been a long and hard season at Dortmund with the team in the
bottom half of the table for long periods of the campaign and they
were eliminated - and outplayed - by Juventus in the last 16 of the
Champions League.
Klopp arrived from Mainz seven years ago and has won the Bundesliga
title twice, the German Cup once and reached the Champions League
final against Bayern Munich in 2013, a game they lost 2-1.
German newspaper Bild suggest that Tuchel, who, like Klopp, worked
at Mainz, is the frontrunner to take over in the summer. Tuchel was
offered the Hamburg job this week but turned it down.
Dortmund are currently 10th in the Bundesliga and there have beensigns
of Klopp's frustration in recent months. After a recent home defeat
against Bayern Munich - who have signed several Dortmund players in
recent years - the manager was dismayed by Sky Germany's request to
interview him in front of the travelling fans.
"I've got to say I think that's a fantastic idea from Sky to interview
me here and give those [Bayern] lads every opportunity to do what
they want," he said. "But I guess this is just something else I've
got to stomach."
