Klopp's agent denies Germany coaching rumours

The four-time world champions have won just one of five games since their disastrous group-stage exit at the Qatar World Cup in December.

Germany, who qualify for next year's Euro as hosts, lacked fluidity in Gelsenkirchen, ramping up the pressure on under-fire boss Flick, with the side not playing again until September. "I'm very disappointed for the fans," said Flick.

Flick was bullish on his side's long-term chances, saying his side would "show a different willingness, a difference performance" in the next round of friendlies.

As a result, several reports have linked Jurgen Klopp, who coaches Liverpool, with the German national team.

Nevertheless, his agent Marc Kosicke has denied rumours of his departure from Anfield: "Jurgen has a long-term contract with Liverpool. And [Germany] has a national coach. So it's not an issue for us at all," he claimed.
