Jurgen Klopp will have plenty of suitors, say Sunday Supplement panel

Jurgen Klopp announced this week he is departing Borussia Dortmund at the end of the season and that has led to widespread speculation surrounding his next destination.

The German boss has been linked with a host of top clubs around Europe, such as Manchester City and Real Madrid.

On Sunday Supplement, The Daily Mail's chief sports writer Martin Samuel said that Klopp fully deserved to have a queue of clubs coming in for him, and that his personal profile would make him a good fit for City. 

“I can see why there would be a queue," said Samuel. "He won a league and got Dortmund to the Champions League final playing football that was great to watch, and beating Real Madrid on the way.

“He’s a very arresting personality and because of Financial Fair Play you’ve got to generate your own money and build your own brand all the time.

“Part of the issue with Manuel Pellegrini is that he’s not exactly ‘Mr Personality’ and he’s not going to capture the imagination of fans in Asia or America or any of these new markets you’ve got to tap into to bring in these different revenue streams.

He’s a very arresting personality and because of Financial Fair Play you’ve got to generate your own money and build your own brand all the time.

“You can see a big club going in for Klopp and saying 'this will make us a big club'."

However, The Times' chief sports correspondent Matt Dickinson thinks Klopp would do well at Real Madrid.

“It's down to timing," he said. "It looks as though Carlo Ancelotti will be on his way for Real Madrid so that’s a massive vacancy that could trigger another merry-go-round among the top managers.

“It’s a fascinating one with Klopp because his record absolutely justifies the interest of the top clubs, but you have to factor in (this) season.

"Maybe he’s a manager that does have a limited burst at a club? He’s a huge motivator and maybe that only works for two or three seasons.

“I think sometimes in England because of Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger we have this idea that management should be about stability and long term.

"But they’re the exceptions – most reigns are about two or three years and squeezing out what you can before moving on.”
