The Borussia Dortmund manager has clarified that he is not interested in taking charge of the Premier League side.
Having been linked with a move to Chelsea by the end of this campaign, Borussia Dortmund manager Jurgen Klopp insists he is not interested to part ways with his current side. He admitted that it is an honour for him to be considered
amongst the likes of Barcelona’s Pep Guardiola and Real Madrid’s Jose Mourinho.
Klopp has confirmed that he would prefer to continue his http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684 at the Signal Iduna Park rather taking over the reins at the Stamford Bridge. He mentioned that Dortmund has become his second home and it will not be possible for him
to leave his family for a new journey.
The tactician showed gratitude to the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 bosses for considering him as one of the replacements for Andre Villas-Boas, who was sacked early this month. The Portuguese failed to impress the Stamford Bridge officials after enabling

While talking to Sky Television, the former Mainz boss further added:
"I can turn them down straight away. I will not be moving there. But I do think it is cool that I am being named in the same breath as Mourinho and Guardiola. That is enough for me - that is already a personal triumph, but I am
not available, sorry."
Klopp took charge of the Westfalenstadion outfit in 2008 and has so far led them to the DFB-Supercup in 2008 and the Bundesliga last season. He was also awarded the German Football Manager of the Year in 2011.
This season, Klopp is determined to complete a domestic double by retaining the Bundesliga title and winning the German Cup, having already qualified for the final by defeating 2.Bundesliga side, Greuther Furth.
Dortmund will either meet Bayern Munich or Borussia Monchengladbach in the decider as these two teams compete in the second semi-final on Wednesday, March 21, at the Borussia-Park.
The Borussians are currently atop the league standings with 59 points, five points clear of their fierce title rivals Bayern Munich. They will next take on FC Koln on Sunday, March 25.
