Jurgen Klopp's chances of landing a new coaching role this summer are alleged to have changed drastically after it emerged that the manager will take a break following his departure from Borussia Dortmund.
According to German newspaper Bild, via the Guardian's Marcus Christenson, Klopp will enjoy a six-month sabbatical from management, apparently ruling him out of the running as Liverpool's next potential boss:
