Liverpool's search for a new manager has been dealt a fresh blow after Jurgen Klopp made it clear he does not want to leave Borussia Dortmund.
Swansea boss Brendan Rodgers has already rejected an approach from the Anfield club, who are looking for a successor to Kenny Dalglish following the Scot's sacking on Friday.
Klopp is thought to be one of the 12 candidates who are being targeted by Liverpool, but he is committed to Bundesliga champions Dortmund after leading them to a league and cup double this season.
The German 44-year-old is one of the most promising manager's in Europe after achieving success on a tight budget, but he is under contract at Dortmund for another four years.
And Klopp is staying put amid plans for a better challenge in next season's UEFA Champions League after a disappointing bottom-placed finish in Arsenal's Group F this campaign.
The previous Chelsea target said: "I have been made aware of interest from England, and it is an honour to be linked with big clubs in the Premier League.
"But I have a contract with Dortmund until 2016 and am going nowhere. I love it here and have no intention of changing clubs."
