Gary Lineker has teased Jurgen Klopp's future after the German bid farewell to Liverpool after nine years as manager.
Klopp triggered emotional scenes at Anfield on Sunday as he took charge of his final game as Reds boss, with the 56-year-old ending his reign with a 2-0 win over Wolves.
He has pledged to take a break from football, admitting he will never coach in the Premier League again and that he wasn't sure what his next role would be when and if he decides to return.
Speculation has already begun around what he will do when he is back, be it return as manager of one of Europe's top sides or take up a backroom role in the sport.
Lineker, meanwhile, suggested it could be the latter, as he told the a rumour he had heard about what role Klopp could take up next.

'You can see why that job is so demanding. There will be a battle for him in a year's time. Or they'll be lining up for a year or so's time.
'I heard a little rumour that he might end up being president of Borussia Dortmund, which would be amazing.'
Klopp arrived at Liverpool in 2015, cutting short a sabbatical after he stepped down as manager of Dortmund in his homeland of Germany.
He had led the Champions League finalists for seven years, taking charge in 2008 and departing in 2015 before taking to the dugout at Anfield.
During his time in charge, he won two Bundesliga titles and one German Cup, before his side began to struggle and he departed on amicable terms.
Lineker, however, has suggested he could return in a backroom role, with Klopp admitting he was previously unsure whether he would coach ever again.

'I will work,' Klopp revealed after his final Liverpool game. 'I have just finished this job.
'I don't know exactly why nobody believes I will probably not be a manager again, but I understand because obviously it seems to be a drug.
'It looks like that as everybody comes back and everybody works until they are 70-something. I have always had the idea I won't do that.
'Other people are smarter and do it in different ways, but I have to be all-in. I have to be the spark, I have to be the energiser, I have to be all these kind of things. And I am empty. That's it.'
