Jurgen Klopp is 'likely to accept' one of two job offers after he leaves Liverpool at the end of the season, according to a new report.
Klopp announced his shock departure from Anfield last month, stating that he is 'running out of energy' in the role.
The 56-year-old has thus far refused to rule out his exit signalling the end of his managerial career - but has confirmed he will not manage another Premier League club.

His desire to take a break from football, though, does mean fans will have to wait to see him back in football in some capacity.
But according to Football Insider, Klopp is 'likely' to accept approaches from two clubs if they offer him contracts after his Liverpool days are over.
It is claimed that either Real Madrid or Barcelona is seen as the 'most likely destination' for the German.

And while Carlo Ancelotti is currently in charge of Real, having recently signed a contract to remain at the Bernabeu until the summer of 2026, the Barcelona role will become vacant this summer.
Xavi has already confirmed that he will resign at the end of the season, with his Barca side having failed to live up to the heights of last season, which saw them comfortably win the La Liga title.
Thomas Tuchel and Xabi Alonso - who have both been linked with moves to Liverpool themselves - are both rumoured to be on Barca's radar.

Barca fans don't have too many happy memories of Klopp, with the German in charge of Liverpool for their heroic Champions League semi-final second leg comeback in 2019.
But Klopp's message to his Reds players prior to that infamous 4-0 victory at Anfield will no doubt resonate with Barca fans: "That is plan - just try. If we can do it, wonderful. If not, then fail in the most beautiful way.
"I had these games quite a few times ... I'm completely fine with the chance. Less than them, but we have at least a chance."
