Dortmund manager Klopp says no to Chelsea

LONDON: Borussia Dortmund boss Juergen Klopp insists he will not be the next manager of Chelsea.

The sacking of Andre Villas-boas has led to a host of big name managers linked to the post at Stamford Bridge – with the highly-rated German among them.

But despite being instrumental in leading Dortmund to their seventh Bundesliga title last season, the 44-year-old has no plans to take on a fresh challenge. He said: “I can turn them down straight away. “I will not be moving there but I do think it is cool that I am being named in the same breath as Jose Mourinho and Pep Guardiola.

“That is enough for me – that is already a personal triumph, but I am not available, sorry.” — The Sun, London
