Former Borussia Dortmund manager Jurgen Klopp has fuelled speculation over his next job in management, admitting he may not join an 'absolute top club'.

The 48-year-old has been out of work since deciding to leave Dortmund at the end of the 2014-15 season, admitting he did not think he was the 'perfect man' to continue in the role.

He he since been linked with a number of top jobs around Europe, including Manchester City and Real Madrid, but Klopp says he may not move to a so-called 'top club'.

'It doesn't have to be an absolute top club. There are other good projects that are exciting, [teams] who need help,' he told Bild.

'I inform, read and meet a lot of people - there are ordinary little things that are great fun. I miss nothing [from football] currently.'

It appears the former Dortmund man is in no hurry to return to the game, after almost 25 straight years of playing and managing until mid-2015.

He also commented on his plans for the coming year, and admitted he isn't sure where his future lies.

'I don't know where I'll be heading to,' Klopp continued. 'But right now, that's not important for me.

'I know that if I will have the right feeling it will be a wonderful next chapter. You will see what happens and I find it exciting right now not knowing what will happen next.'
