Jurgen Klopp has shut down talk of him taking over as England manager and offered an update on his coaching future.
Klopp was regarded as one of the possible dream candidates to succeed Gareth Southgate following his exit after the Three Lions lost against Spain in the final of Euro 2024.
Having stepped down from his role as Liverpool boss at the end of last season to take a break from football, little is known about the German's future plans.
When asked specifically about the England job, he appeared to completely shut down the chances of taking over, at least right now.
'It would be the biggest loss of face in the history of football if someone said, "I'll make an exception for you'",' he told Sport.de.

He went on: 'There's nothing job-wise. No club, no country. A few people must not have heard that part,' said the 57-year-old.'
But Klopp admitted he will work in football again and has more to give.
'I'll do some work,' he added. 'I'm too young to just do padel tennis and grandchildren.
'Will that be coaching again? I would actually rule that out at the moment. Let's see how it will look in a few months. At the moment nothing is happening.'
No doubt Klopp talking up a return to work in some capacity will put a number of top clubs on alert, though they may have to be patient.
He steered the Reds to a top four finish and Carabao Cup win in his final campaign before an emotional send-off on the final day in which he encouraged the fans to get behind his replacement Arne Slot.
The FA are keen on hiring an English manager for the position but would consider exceptional candidates from abroad.
