Given how much Klopp enjoys surrounding himself with a group of players who he seems like on a personal level I’m not sure how well he’d do in the confines of international management. There’s no guarantee he’s going to enjoy working with all of Germany’s best players or have a system that gets the best out of them.
There will be an immediate expectation that he’ll turn the national team into the Dortmund/Liverpool blueprint and it’ll work flawlessly. I’m not even sure if the current crop of players will actually suit what he would want.
Plus if the dude is looking for a rest is this really it? International managers spend loads of time travelling from country to country assessing different players.
*England. He meant to say England.
Klopp: I need to take time off
Kroos: no you don’t, back to work!
He might be thinking in Real Madrid after a year on holidays and Ancelotti’s departure.

Just my feeling.
