football team Hans-Joachim Watzke said absolute confidence again in team coach
Jürgen Klopp.

thinking at all to dispense with the services of Klopp in the future as coach explaining
that he is still young to take over as coach of Germany.

magazine "Kicker" on Monday, "The Klopp has achieved many
achievements of Dortmund during the period that he took the technical
management of the team, where he led the team to get the league title of the
German Bundesliga in 2011, also achieved a bilateral by crowning league and cup
in 2012, as he won the German super this year.”

Klopp," he said, adding that Klopp also will not terminate his contract
with the team, which expires in 2016.

at all. Contract with the team expires in 2016 and will meet him."

for negotiations for the renewal of the contract was not yet ripe, "but we
always strive to continue with Klopp."

mark. But Watzke believes that traditional rival Bayern Munich could still
compete strongly for the title this season under the leading of the Spanish
coach Pep Guardiola.

favorites to win the tournament. Bayern is still the best team in the world
right now and one of the clubs that have successfully managed at the level of
the world."
