Five possible destinations for Borussia Dortmund manager Jurgen Klopp
After Pep Guardiola, the one manager who has been making most top European clubs salivating at the prospect of his availability is finally available. News that Jurgen Klopp will be leaving Borussia Dortmund at the end of the season is one that will have left many chairmen with pumped fists.The 47-year-old German who guided Dortmund to successive Bundesliga titles and a Champions League final is widely regarded as one of the finest coaches in Europe. His admission that he doesn't "plan to take a sabbatical" means that several top clubs have been alerted to the prospect of signing him in the summer.Let us look at five possible destinations for the 47-year-old Jurgen Klopp.
#1 Manchester City
Dumped out of Europe early again, after posting another limp defence of their title, Manuel Pellegrini's position at Manchester City is under threat in the summer. Although the club have Guardiola in their sights, the fact that he isn't going to leave Bayern Munich until 2016 at the earliest means that City might have to settle for the second-best option. Having envied Bayern's spending power for a long time, the mere prospect of being able to cherry pick the finest players in the world, might be reason enough for Klopp to make the move to City.
If that isn't enough, the fact that City need a massive squad overhaul in the summer, means that the German has the opportunity to sign the players he needs to fit in with his style of play.
Verdict: Most likely considering City's spending power and Klopp's high ambitions.
