Whilst the logic makes sense, there's a chance that whatever personal reason it is, he has insisted he doesn't want anyone to know at all, which the club would have to respect, or at least if I believe anything about Klopp's attitude they certainly would.
Ah, so you had a run in with Kevin Spacey too then.
Blimey... @gkmacca would have a conniption...

'Poove' was trending on SCM long before trending became a thing.
In Klopps biography it stated him as his assistant manager had a relationship whereby they could be at each others throats one minute but in each others arms 5 minutes later. It's possible that their relationship has just burnt out after 17 years of intense working and needs time apart to recover. They both seem to greatly respect one another and the club and Klopp clearly feel their is a possibly he will return. Its frustrating the news has broke out now in this way and it feels like the club were unprepared for him to do so, which reflects worse on Buvac than anyone else at the club.
This just screams mental health or severe family issues, which is just awful and very sad if true.
Yes, it's not impossible. The attitude of clubs for at least a couple of decades is to brief the most trusted hacks on the proviso that they'll respect the public remarks, and then promise them a two-page interview or article about what happened, if possible, at a later date. But it's not inconceivable that Klopp would insist on another way - and, if so, he'd probably have an even more loyal friend back at some point in the future - but if so the club, and especially the press man Matt McCann, will now have a hell of a job n their hands to try to control the speculation.
Wow. That is not good news at all.....
Course it's bloody crazy.
If they're bringing him in as a manager like it says then the fans will riot.
A moderately successful assistant manager as their manager?
Nah mate.
Buvac still can't speak English very well at all, he's also notoriously camera shy and wouldn't even do a quick post-match interview when he stood in for Klopp when the latter was ill, and by all accounts he has no interest whatsoever in the hassle that comes from being a manager. I guess you could've said the same about Paisley, apart from the Klopp bit of course, but I really don't think you can manage a big club in this era without being ready as well as able to deal with all the media pressure in a clear and confident way.
If he goes to Arsenal I guess it is Klopp's time to honour their agreement from the past were if one got a manager post he brings the other as his assistent.. .. no wonder there is a fall out. 😀
To be fair they hired Wenger when no one had a clue who he was
He had infinitely more pedigree than buvac
Replacing him in the long term will take a few short speil managers, as the fans and the whole club is in a frustrated period and whoever comes in will not be able to deliver those expectations and thirst for success.
This story really shows how twitter is the most absurdly infantile place. The Bosnian news outlet didn't break the news of Klopp coming to us, but the assertion that it did (rather than just repeat other sources) has just been repeated unquestioningly, thus scaring loads into trusting this latest idiotic bit of fake news. And then it gets repeated in online news pages over here, describing the Bosnian news site as 'a source close to Buvac,' which is a bit like calling Angela Merkel 'a source close to Klopp'. Really depressing how witless gossip gets elevated so quickly these days. You'd probably be better off sticking your head in a washing machine and pressing spin dry.
The timing does make sense though, & it's not exactly a massive stretch of the imagination considering that timing.
Whilst he & Klopp may be long-term friends, if he has just told him that he's taking the Arsenal job, or seriously considering it, gardening leave would be the option taken every time, cos you do not want a potential rival manager in your camp a minute longer than necessary, even if he has been there for years already.
Having just read macca's comments, I'm much less worried about that being a possibility.
But with all those anti Brexit quotes from Klopp he could be a source close to Merkel?
Definitely plausible, but as macca said, he doesn't seem like the type to want the limelight
True, that is the biggest argument the other way.
Some Dortmund fans said he was on TV about twice during those 7 years, not manager material to say the least.
Looks like he is going to be Arsenals next manager
According to the Bosnian newspapers..
Could be quite a coup for them..

Yeah. They hardly have any exclusives.
