Gary Lineker has shared a rumour he's heard about Jurgen Klopp's next job after leaving Liverpool.
Jurgen Klopp sat in the Anfield dugout for the final time on Sunday when Liverpool beat Wolves 2-0 on the final day of the Premier League season.
In January the 56-year-old announced that he would leave the club at the end of the season, bringing his time as manager to an end after almost nine years.

Klopp has insisted that he needs a break for football management, siting exhaustion as one of the reasons behind his decision to step down.
However, that hasn't stopped speculation that Klopp could find a new job as early as next season.
Now, Gary Lineker has revealed a rumour he heard about Klopp's potential next job.

Speaking on The Rest Is Football podcast, Lineker shared a rumour he’d heard about Klopp potentially becoming the president of Borussia Dortmund.
"I will be interested to see what Jurgen Klopp does next," Lineker said.
"I think he will definitely take some time out because I think he’s genuine when he says he has run out of energy.
"You can see why that job is so demanding. There will be a battle for him in a year’s time. Or they’ll be lining up for a year or so’s time.

"I heard a little rumour that he might end up being president of Borussia Dortmund, which would be amazing."
Podcast regular Alan Shearer confirmed that he had also heard the same rumour.
Klopp coached Dortmund for seven seasons before he stepped down as manager at the end of the 2014-15 season.
He was then hired by Liverpool in October 2015 following the sacking of predecessor Brendan Rodgers.
