Liverpool: Jurgen Klopp wins the LMA Manager of the Year Award
There will come a time when Jurgen Klopp leaves Liverpool and Michael Ballack would like to see the Reds boss become the next national head coach for Germany. Klopp ended a 30-year wait for Liverpool's first top flight title this past season in terrific fashion.
"The question is not whether he has the qualities for it, but whether Klopp would even like to become a national coach.
"He is in a position where he can choose anything.
"Should he ever have enough as a club coach, the position of national coach would be a great story for him and German football.
"This connection would be perfect."

Ballack, who won the Premier League with Chelsea in 2010, has been hugely impressed at the job Klopp has done during his time at Liverpool.
"It is impressive how Jurgen established Liverpool at the top, then led them to the Champions League triumph and now to the championship title," he added.
"He breathed the new spirit into Reds, embodies the club, and is a brutal worker who gets the most out of his players.
"He is an absolutely exceptional trainer. For me he is one of the three best coaches in the world."
