Klose: Why Liverpool boss Klopp rejected my request to study his coaching

Germany legend Miroslav Klose admits Jurgen Klopp rejected his request to study his coaching at Liverpool.

Klose hoped to spend time at Liverpool to follow his fellow German's methods.

I asked Kloppo but received a friendly rejection," said the 137-time Germany international to BILD.

Klopp follows the principle of only letting his ex-players sit in with him.

I understand that too, otherwise he would probably have no peace at all. For me that's a shame."

The World Cup record goalscorer also said: He has the success and the empathy that he could coach any team in the world. He would also be a good German national coach. I would have liked to shadow him, but unfortunately that didn't work out."
