Jurgen Klopp has previously made his stance abundantly clear regarding the prospect of managing another Premier League club after leaving Liverpool in 2024 — a position that has resurfaced amid the escalating crisis at Chelsea.

Liam Rosenior became the most recent Blues manager to be dismissed when he was removed from his post on Wednesday. This came after a dire 3-0 loss to Brighton at the Amex on Tuesday.

The defeat marked Chelsea's fifth successive Premier League setback, all without scoring a goal. It is believed the club's sporting leadership met on Wednesday to assess Rosenior's position, which ultimately led to his exit.

The 41-year-old, appointed less than four months earlier on a six-year deal, was originally due to undergo his performance assessment at the end of next season. That schedule, though, has been brought forward.

Cesc Fabregas, Filipe Luis, Andoni Iraola and Diego Simeone are among the favorites to succeed Rosenior at Chelsea. But Klopp isn't interested in taking the job — and for good reason.

Klopp has already confirmed that he will not manage another English club after his successful spell at Liverpool.

"What I know definitely, I will never, ever manage a different club in England than Liverpool, 100 percent," he declared.

"That's not possible. My love for this club, my respect for the people, is too big. I couldn't. I couldn't for a second think about it. There's no chance. This is part of my life, we are part of the family, we feel home here.

"There's no chance to do that. But all the rest, will I ever work again? Of course, I know myself; I cannot just sit around. I will find something else maybe to do.

"But I will not manage a club or a country, at least for a year, that's not possible, I cannot do that, and I don't want to. That's all."

Notwithstanding the ongoing speculation and persistent rumors, Klopp has made his position abundantly clear — he has no desire to return to the relentless demands of soccer management. He admitted to feeling content in his current role within the Red Bull Group.

"I don't miss being in the dressing room, I coached something like 1,080 games, so I was in a dressing room often," he added. "I don't want to die in a dressing room because it's nice, it smells.

"There might be something, I'm 58, I could make the decision in a few years, I don't know. Do I have to make the decision today that I will not coach again, but thank god I don't have to, I can just see what the future brings.

"Now I'm in a project I really love. I like doing what I'm doing right now. In my mind, only if I'm focused 100 percent, I can do it really good."
