On Friday, "Liverpool" coach Jurgen Klopp admitted that in 2013 he talked with the "Manchester United" team about the possibility of taking over the team from Sir Alex Ferguson.
Speaking to the Daily Mail about the upcoming match against "United", the German confirmed that while working at the "Borussia" club, he talked about the possibility of moving to England, but he did not like the idea of leaving the club when preparations for the next season were already underway.
"We talked. It wasn't a long conversation, but it meant a lot to me. Honestly, it was a great honor to have such a conversation. But I couldn't leave Dortmund. It was April and at that time you're planning the team for the next season. You've already made agreements with one or another player, for their arrival, and then you leave the team yourself? That's not how things work. At least not in my life,"
Klopp candidly spoke.The German emphasized that he was not actually offered a specific offer, but even if he had received one, he would not have been able to leave the "Borussia" team.
In the summer of 2013, David Moyes became the coach of "Manchester United", and Jurgen Klopp moved to "Liverpool" at the end of 2015.
