Beckenbauer: My one wish is for Klopp to join Bayern Munich

Bayern Munich honorary president Franz Beckenbauer retains hope of Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp returning to Germany.

Klopp won the first trophy of his Liverpool reign on Saturday as the Reds beat Tottenham 2-0 in the Champions League final.

Beckenbauer hopes Bayern will be able to one day lure him back to the Bundesliga - and thinks he could have things easier in Munich

“I wish for nothing more than that one day he will come to Bayern," Beckenbauer told Bild.

"For me he is one of the world's best coaches. What he started in Dortmund, he has refined with Liverpool.

“I believe that a job in England robs you of your strength. You have even more responsibility as a so-called manager at a Premier League club than a coach in the Bundesliga."
