Klopp to take break after leaving Dortmund

European clubs are reportedly keeping tabs on Jurgen Klopp, but the ex-Borussia Dortmund coach is to take a break from football.

Jurgen Klopp has ruled out an immediate return to football after leaving Borussia Dortmund, confirming he will take an indefinite break.

Klopp bid an emotional farewell to Dortmund following a disappointing 3-1 defeat to Wolfsburg in Saturday's DFB-Pokal final.

Dortmund enjoyed great success under Klopp's stewardship — winning the Bundesliga twice and the DFB-Pokal in 2012, as well as reaching the 2013 UEFA Champions League final.

Klopp confirmed in April that he would end his seven-season stay at Signal Iduna Park, and has since been linked with several top European jobs.
