'I heard a little rumour' - Gary Lineker teases fans about possible 'amazing' next job for departing Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp

The German manager bid an emotional farewell to Liverpool after the club's final game of the season on Sunday at Anfield where they beat Wolves 2-0. He left the club as one of their most successful managers ever having won eight trophies including the Champions League and Premier League titles.

Now former England striker Gary Lineker has teased fans about the manager's future as he moves out of the UK leaving a rich legacy behind. The 56-year-old had earlier mentioned that he will not be joining another club - at least for the 2024/25 - campaign as he wants some much-needed rest from football.

Speaking on The Rest Is Football Podcast, the former Barcelona and Spurs star said, "I will be interested to see what Jurgen Klopp does next. I think he will definitely take some time out because I think he's genuine when he says he has run out of energy. You can see why that job is so demanding.

"There will be a battle for him in a year's time. Or they'll be lining up for a year or so's time. I heard a little rumour that he might end up being president of Borussia Dortmund, which would be amazing."

It remains to be seen if the tactician will re-join his former club Dortmund in the future, however, he has made it clear that he will never manage another Premier League club.
