According to reports, Jurgen Klopp will turn down any offers to take on the role of the next England manager.

The man from Germany has been enjoying his time in a specially designed home in Mallorca with his wife Ulla, after departing from Liverpool where he spent nearly nine years as the boss.

Before he left, he mentioned that he wanted to take a break and not do anything for a bit before he left Anfield to go on his travels.

However, he is being praised as the ideal candidate to replace Gareth Southgate, who stepped down from his position as England's manager after eight years on Tuesday. This decision came just two days after England's loss to Spain in the Euro 2024 final.

But according to reports from Sky Sport Germany journalist Florian Plettenburg, Klopp has no plans to take on the role of England manager.

It has been rumored that Jurgen Klopp will not take on the role of England's next manager following Gareth Southgate.

He plans to extend his break with his wife Ulla and is loving life in Mallorca.

Plettenburg stated that he has decided to continue with his plan to take a break for the entire season and is not interested in leading any team or organization.

This is consistent with what was anticipated from Klopp following a thrilling and tiring period in charge of Liverpool.

The 57-year-old had originally planned to take a break after leaving Borussia Dortmund in 2015.

He had coached them for seven intense and emotional years, leading them to two Bundesliga titles, before departing in June 2015.

Nevertheless, Klopp cut short his hiatus from coaching four months later to join Liverpool.

This summer, the famous boss retired after 23 years of continuous work, excluding a break before starting at Liverpool. He managed Mainz in his home country from 2001 to 2008, then moved to Dortmund from 2008 to 2015.

In January, he shared that he would be departing from Liverpool because he was feeling drained and lacking energy. He mentioned that he had already known for some time that he would need to make this announcement. He emphasized that he was feeling okay with the decision and recognized that he could not continue doing the same job repeatedly.

Clearly, Ulla wants me to succeed and be happy, and when she saw that I am confident in my decision, she is pleased for me.

Southgate resigned on Tuesday after serving as the national team manager for eight years.

In my opinion, if you were to inquire if I will ever take on a managerial role again, my response would be a definite no. However, I cannot say for sure how I would feel in that situation since I have never experienced it before.

I am certain that I will never coach another team in England besides Liverpool. My love and respect for the club and its people are too strong for me to even consider it. It would never happen.

Eddie Howe, Mauricio Pochettino, Graham Potter, and Lee Carsley are some of the top candidates being considered to take over for Southgate.

The Football Association would prefer to hire a coach from England to replace Southgate, but they are not opposed to hiring a coach from another country.

Thomas Tuchel may have a curiosity, while Sarina Wiegman finds it wrong to discuss while she is the manager of the England Women's team.
