Klopp denies leaking Mourinho information on reported Chelsea return
“It is an absolutely ridiculous story. I never told anyone that Mourinho is going to Chelsea or another club. I’m not a person who does things like that,” said Klopp.
DORMUND COACH Jurgen Klopp has denied reports he disclosed information about Jose Mourinho’s managerial future to a German newspaper.
The Borussia Dortmund manager reportedly told Bild that Mourinho had decided to quit Real Madrid and return to former club Chelsea next term.
However, the 45-year-old has vehemently denied those claims, stressing that he would never reveal such information about a manager whom he considers to be a friend.
“It is an absolutely ridiculous story. I never told anyone that Mourinho is going to Chelsea or another club. I’m not a person who does things like that,” said Klopp.

“I heard this story before our game with Fortuna and I have to admit I was very sad and angry because it is completely false. It is a made-up story. Mourinho is a colleague and a friend and I would never mess around in such a manner.”

The German outfit hold a 4-1 lead from the first meeting at the Westfalenstadion thanks to four goals from Polish striker Robert Lewandowski.
