Bayern Munich's newly minted board member, Max Eberl, has quashed speculation linking Jurgen Klopp to the coaching role at the German club.
With Thomas Tuchel set to depart at the end of the season, Bayern is actively seeking a new manager.
Several names have surfaced in discussions, including Xabi Alonso, who is on the cusp of ending Bayern's Bundesliga 11-season dominance with Bayer Leverkusen, former Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, and recently departed AS Roma boss, Jose Mourinho.
Klopp, who will be leaving his post as Liverpool manager at the end of the current campaign, is also among the potential candidates, per Team Talk.

Having honed his coaching prowess in the Bundesliga with Mainz 05 and Borussia Dortmund, his potential appointment at Bayern seemed plausible.
However, Eberl has provided clarity on the matter, indicating why the German tactician is not being considered for the managerial role at the Allianz Arena club.
"I know what it means when you make statements like Kloppo, who said: 'I have no more energy'. Few people can judge that better than me because I went through it. People come first. That’s why I won’t call him," he told Sport Bild.
Hiring Klopp would have been a remarkable move for Bayern.
The 56-year-old manager has played a pivotal role in transforming Liverpool into one of Europe's top teams in recent years. He possesses all the qualities that the Bavarians seek in a head coach.

FootballAs Klopp nears the end of his tenure at Liverpool, the 56-year-old manager is expected to seek new challenges once he rediscovers his motivation.
Fondly admired among the fans, the German manager has been praised by his former player, Sadio Mane, as a 'great man' and a 'living legend'.
Mane teasingly hinted at Klopp's potential move to handle his newly acquired French side, Bourges Foot 18, as reported by Sports Brief.
