Outgoing Borussia Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp has said he is open to
taking over at Bayern Munich at a later point in his career.
Klopp is set for his final match in charge of Dortmund on Saturday when they take on Wolfsburg in the DFB-Pokal final in Berlin.
Speaking to Sky Deutschland ahead of last Saturday's 3-2 win
against Werder Bremen, the former Mainz boss, who is expected to leave
the Bundesliga for his next job, said he has not ruled out joining BVB's
rivals Bayern in the future.
"Sure, why shouldn't I be able to
imagine that? I am a coach. And I want to continue working for a while,"
Klopp said when asked whether he was open to a future appointment at
the Allianz Arena. "But right now that's difficult, but they also know
that in Munich."
Klopp, who has already said he is open to a Dortmund return, also hinted that he could join another Bundesliga club.
"There are several exciting projects in Germany, clubs which did not have a lot of success in recent years," he said.
Bayern defender Jerome Boateng, meanwhile, has suggested that he would like to one day work under Klopp.
"He's a very good coach. You'll see if it happens, but it's indeed interesting," he told Sport1.
Also
speaking to Sport1, Bayern CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge said that the
club's main priority is tying Pep Guardiola, who is under contract until
2016, to a new deal.
"It's nice that Klopp has a soft spot for Bayern," he added.
