Just can't see him at Real..Liverpool would be an ideal club for him. And he's said before that the only other language he speaks is English, and that it's very important for him to be able to speak to players directly, so the logical choice would be England.Jürgen Klopp

Klopp has mentioned he needs the language in order to work, and the only languages he knows are German and English.Comment

Borussia Dortmund will host Werder Bremen on the final match-day of the Bundesliga. It will be seventh against eighth, with the two only separated by goal difference; the winner will finish the season in a Europa League qualification spot. It is an intriguing narrative to enter the last match of a season, yet the 90 minutes on the field will only be a side story in Dortmund.
The event happening on Saturday afternoon is much more than just a regular football match. It's going to be a wistful farewell party for Sebastian Kehl and Jurgen Klopp. Although the season will end one week later for Dortmund in a cup final, nobody in Dortmund can help but feel that an era is slowly coming to an end.
"I don't know what will happen inside of me, when the referee blows the final whistle and I will realise that this was my last home for indefinite time," Klopp said in his Thursday pre-match news conference. A good guess is that it will turn into collective weeping in Dortmund after the final whistle. To describe the situation, Borussia Dortmund fans love Klopp very much and vice versa, so it will be nothing less than a tough breakup that will drag itself out over the next two weeks.
It might sound cheesy for outsiders, but it's seems to be a normal thing when Klopp leaves a club. In 2008, 30,000 Mainz fans came to the city center to see off their overwhelmed coach, who was overcome by his own feelings on a highly emotional afternoon. Seldom has a football coach won the affections of those around him so easily. Apart from being quite good at managing a football team, he is authentic to the bone. In public Klopp appears as an entertaining character, who is wearing his emotions on his sleeve, but it's his professionalism that makes him so successful in the first place.
Despite the seven-year long relationship with Borussia Dortmund, the coach has refused to receive official farewell honors on his last home match. "I want to focus one hundred percent on the last two matches, because I want to win them. I'll say goodbye when I'm actually going." Klopp said, also making it once again clear that he is putting success above all by directing a few words towards the fans urging them to create a proper football atmosphere: "I don't want a nostalgic or melancholic atmosphere during the match. I want one last full-throttle-event and a normal football atmosphere throughout the match and I think Sebastian Kehl will see it exactly the same way."
