No chance! Klopp reveals he rejected chance to talk to Chelsea and Man City

Jurgen Klopp has revealed he snubbed the chance to manage in England.

The Borussia Dortmund manager was the top target for a host of European clubs - including Chelsea and Manchester City - after guiding the German side to the Champions League final, which they lost to Bayern Munich.

But the 46-year-old, whose side face Arsenal in the Champions League on Tuesday, rejected the chance to talk to the Premier League giants.

'There were some English clubs that called and wanted to speak with me,' Klopp told The Sun. 'But there was no reason to talk to because... no chance.
 'It's only hard to understand if you always think "I can go to a bigger club". I'm sure you could earn much more money at one or the other English clubs or at a Chinese or Russian club.

'But it's not the most important thing. Money is important, of course. I am not Mahatma Ghandi. If somebody told me two years ago "some time they will you call you", I would have said "impossible". And then they called and it was nothing.'

Dortmund remain a point behind rivals Bayern in the Bundesliga after a Marco Reus penalty earned them a narrow win over Hannover on Saturday.

'I'm totally satisfied,' said Klopp. 'We knew it would be really difficult today. For me it was decisive that the lads could deal with the situation.'

Klopp will be absent from the dugout at the Emirates as he serves the final match of his ban for raging at the fourth official against Marseille.
