Jurgen Klopp shocks Liverpool with Dutch move as Brendan Rodgers faces sack

Jurgen Klopp is a much sought after manager

JURGEN KLOPP could become the next manager of the Netherlands.

 

The 48-year-old has been out of football since leaving Borussia Dortmund at the end of last season.

The German said he wanted to take some time out away from football but it has not stopped speculation over where he will manage next.

And he's been linked with the Liverpool job after a stuttering start by under pressure manager Brendan Rodgers.

According to bookmakers William Hill, the odds on Rodgers being axed fell to just 3/1 after their 3-1 defeat to Manchester United at Old Trafford.

 

But rather than taking over at Anfield, Klopp could be set for a role with Holland, who having a dreadful Euro 2016 qualification campaign.

The Dutch are in fourth position in their group, two points away from a play-off place for the tournament in France.

Danny Blind took charge of the team after Guus Hiddink resigned but suffered defeat to Iceland and Turkey.

Reports in Germany suggest Klopp would be interested in managing a national team and a job could become available if Holland fail to qualify for next summer's tournament.
