Jurgen Klopp is close to becoming manager of Liverpool with an agreement expected by Thursday.

Liverpool fired Brendan Rodgers on Sunday in part because Klopp was available and willing to abandon his sabbatical.

Klopp was non-committal about his future when asked about Liverpool’s interest at a meeting of German coaches in Leverkusen on Monday.

Klopp is believed to have been offered a three-year contract.
