One of those clubs is Real Madrid, who are soon set to have a vacancy, with Carlo Ancelotti poised to become Brazil manager. The other job comes with the German national team, but Tanjga's words may well set hearts aflutter in Madrid.
WHAT TANJGA SAID
Tanjga said, per AS: “What Klopp told me when he left Liverpool was that he had two wishes: to be the coach of the national team and of Real Madrid. I don't know if either of them will come true.
“He's certainly one of the candidates for the Real Madrid job, but for now, all of this is pure speculation. I also know that he never saw himself as the coach of any other team in England, except Liverpool. He doesn't want to go to Serie A or France, and at some point, I think he'll become the German coach."

Klopp will be a keen observer as Leipzig play Bayern in the Bundesliga this weekend. If Bayern win the game, they will win the Bundesliga, but they will be without Harry Kane, who is suspended.
