• ‘I am not taking a sabbatical. I am not tired,’ says Klopp
• Napoli’s Rafael Benítez also not an option for City
• City could sack Pellegrini before end of season
• Pellegrini refuses to discuss position
Manchester City do not consider Jürgen Klopp a candidate to take over should Manuel Pellegrini be removed, despite the German having announced on Wednesday he will leave Borussia Dortmund at the end of the season.
Klopp is to end a seven-year spell in charge of the Bundesliga club when the campaign closes, the 47-year-old stating at an emotional press conference he “no longer feels he is the perfect coach for the club”.
Pellegrini is under severe pressure because of a run of six defeats in eight games.Sunday’s 4-2 defeat at Manchester United left City in fourth position, four points behind Louis van Gaal’s team, and allowed fifth-placed Liverpool to close the gap on City to four points.
