DFB-Pokal is for Dormund, not for me says Klopp

The 47-year-old will leave BVB after Saturday's showdown with Wolfsburg in Berlin but he says the game is all about his players

Jurgen Klopp insists that this weekend's DFB-Pokal final is about winning another title for Borussia Dortmund - not ensuring a fairytale ending for his time at Signal Iduna Park.

The 47-year-old will part company with BVB after Saturday's showdown with Wolfsburg in Berlin, thus bringing an end to a successful seven-year spell in which he won two Bundesliga titles and a German Cup.

Much of the build-up has thus centred on Klopp but the colourful coach is desperate for his players to concentrate solely on the task at hand.

"This final is not about me, it’s about the team," he told reporters. "We still have the opportunity to achieve something and we want to use that.

"This final was our goal from the very first training day in summer. We are proud that we made it.

"I'm not in a nostalgic mood. We don't have to talk about anything else, everything is focused on the game.

"Both teams are on good form. Everything is at stake for both of us. That's the great thing about the final."

Klopp is just as pleased that attacking midfielder Shinji Kagawa is back to his best after an inconsistent start to his second spell at BVB following last summer's return from Manchester United.
