Mario Gotze Wants To Play For Jurgen Klopp Again

Mario Gotze has refused to rule out a reunion with former Borussia Dortmund manager Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool.

The 2014 World Cup winner rose to prominence under Klopp at Dortmund and has left to open to a potential move to Anfield.

Yet speaking on a special ‘Being Mario Gotze’ documentary, the 26-year-old revealed he would like to play under Klopp once more.

“I decided to leave Bayern and Jurgen Klopp was interested in getting me to Liverpool. And I was also interested in working with him again,” Gotze told the DAZN documentary ‘Being Mario Gotze’.


“It’s still existing. He is a world-class coach and that’s why it’s always an option.”

“I decided to join Borussia Dortmund, but it was not a decision against Liverpool or Jurgen Klopp.”

Mario Gotze had initially left Dortmund to join Bayern Munich, but he admitted he struggled to enjoy his football under Pep Guardiola after being nurtured under Klopp.

“Pep Guardiola was technically one of the best coaches,” he added.

“But I had the feeling that he thinks only on the pitch and leaves out the people and the outside. The empathy was not that big.

“It was not easy for me, just because I came from Kloppo, who was like a footballing father. Pep was the complete difference.

“A world-class coach needs empathy, every athlete is also human and you should combine both.” Jurgen Klopp.”
