Former Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp distanced himself from the vacant England manager position on Wednesday, saying that he had no plans to take up a new role anytime soon.
The 57-year-old German, who ended his successful nine-year stint with Liverpool at the end of last season, was one of the top names linked in British media reports with the demanding England job.
While speaking at the International Coaches' Congress in Wurzburg, he was asked about future job opportunities, including succeeding Gareth Southgate who stepped down as England boss after their Euro 2024 final loss to Spain.
"England? That would be the biggest loss of face in the history of football if I said: 'I'll make an exception for you'," he said.
Southgate, in charge since 2016, announced his departure less than 48 hours after England's second consecutive European Championship final defeat on July 16.
Klopp added that there were no other jobs in the pipeline for him.
"At the moment, there is nothing at all in terms of jobs. No club, no country," he said.
"I've also coached the best clubs in the world. Maybe we can talk about it again in a few months."
Liverpool appointed Feyenoord manager Arne Slot as Klopp's replacement in May.
