 Juergen Klopp refused to succeed Marcelo Bielsa at Marseille.

Highly-rated German coach Juergen Klopp has ruled out taking over from Marcelo Bielsa at Marseille, his agent told yesterday's edition of Bild.

"Marseille has shown great interest in him but, for Juergen, the time has not yet come to return," said Marc Kosicke. Klopp, 48, quit Borussia Dortmund at the end of last season following seven highly successful campaigns in which he won two Bundesliga titles, the German Cup once and guided Dortmund to the 2012-13 Champions League final.

French press have claimed Marseille wants Klopp to succeed Argentine Bielsa, who quit abruptly on Saturday following an opening day 0-1 defeat at home to Caen.
