Last night, the draw of the 1/8 round of the Champions League took place in Nyon, Switzerland. Accordingly, Klopp's Liverpool will face Niko Kovac's Bayern. Thus, after three years, Klopp again encountered Bayern - the opponent he understood as the palm of his right hand in the Ruhr.

However, there is an interesting new information revealed by the journalist Uli Hesse, Klopp in 2008 was Bayern aiming at the head coach.

"I never met Hitzfeld until we were commentators on the German Sky program in March 2013. There are some foreign candidates, especially Marco van Basten, Frank Rijkaard and Raphael Benitez. Hoeness enjoyed a young coach named Juergen Klopp, and Hoeness even called a 40-year-old coach who was leading the second-placed team at the Mainz 05. He has the opportunity to take over Germany's biggest club.

But Rummenigge suggests Klinsmann and convincing others why it's a great idea. This is not easy. Klinsmann never led a club before. In fact, Klinsmann only had two years of experience in the field, which led to the German national team in 2004 when no one wanted to take the job. Klinsmann resigned after the 2006 World Cup. This makes Klinsmann attractive. Rummenigge hopes the 54-year-old will bring the same effect, to help innovate and rejuvenate Bayern, "wrote Hesse in his book," Creating a Global Superclub. "

Klinsmann then headed for Bayern but stayed only one year before taking office in the US in 2011. Klopp left Mainz to lead Dortmund, making it his number one contender. Gray Bundesliga. During his time with the Signal Iduna Park team, Klopp bagged two consecutive Bundesliga titles in the 2010/11 and 2011/12 seasons.
