He told Transfermarkt.de:  "Maybe at some point he'll say he needs to smell the locker room again. But at the moment he's very, very happy in his role. 

"Before joining Red Bull, Jürgen could have coached the USA or England. Probably also Germany, if Julian Nagelsmann hadn't already been there. Even Chelsea and Manchester United inquired, although Jürgen had clearly stated that he would not coach any other club in England. These inquiries keep coming.

"He's extremely happy with what he's achieved. And it's still wonderful to go down in history as one of the few coaches who only managed three clubs and were never fired."

But there is one job that his client might be tempted by, according to Kosicke, who emphasizes that Klopp feels "very connected" to Germany.

"At the moment, the question doesn't even arise. I don't think he feels he has to do it at least once. He feels more of an obligation, that he couldn't always say no to the job," adds Kosicke. 

Because there have been "frequent" inquiries from the DFB (German Football Association) in recent years .
