  • Jurgen Klopp would be a “good fit” at Bayern Munich, believes his agent Marc Kosicke.

    The Bundesliga leaders’ coach Jupp Heynckes will be leaving the club after this season according to reports, and therefore Bayern will be on the look out for a manager then.

    And while Kosicke does not expect Klopp to leave Anfield any time soon, he has talked up the current Liverpool coach’s credentials.

    Speaking to Sport1, Kosicke said, “He is under contract until 2022 and I don’t think his work is finished [at Liverpool] yet.”

    “But you have to bear in mind many factors. When you move to England, you cannot underestimate the lack of a winter break. This reduces your lifetime.”

    “No coach in the world is bigger than any club. Generally, the club is always bigger.

    “Jurgen isn’t too big for Bayern Munich and Bayern Munich isn’t too big for him. He definitely could do a very good job there. Bayern and Klopp would be a good fit, but it isn’t something that is an option at the moment.”

    Klopp has been linked with Bayern in the past, when he was working as a coach with Borussia Dortmund, although no deal has ever been finalised.

    “I have to say that Bayern was often an option because Jurgen knows Uli Hoeness very well. But it was never the right time and nothing definite came of it,” Kosicke explained.

    He added, “Back then Franz Beckenbauer was president and the pair worked together as TV experts during the 2006 World Cup. They get on well and are still in contact. But Jurgen can definitely end his coaching career without having coached Bayern Munich.”
