Juergen Klopp in demand as Italian clubs are linked

The 47-year-old, who won two Bundesliga titles with Borussia Dortmund and led the side to a Champions League final in 2013, is expected to be the most in-demand coach in Europe this summer after announcing he is leaving Signal Iduna Park at the end of the season.

Reigning Premier League champions Manchester City are still seen as his most likely destination by book-makers after a disappointing campaign under Chilean coach Manuel Pellegrini.

Klopp has previously suggested that England and Germany were the two countries he felt most equipped to work in but he could still be tempted by an offer from Italy or Spain.

Despite being on the verge of the Europa League semi-finals, Napoli and Rafa Benitez are expected to part ways in the summer when the Spaniard’s contract comes to an end.

Filippo Inzaghi’s position as head coach at AC Milan also looks extremely insecure, with the 18-time Italian champions down in ninth place - 28 points behind league-leaders Juventus.
