da bet vitoria: Jurgen Klopp to leave Dortmund? That would have seemed mad just a year or so ago, but reports suggest that the German boss has requested to terminate his BVB contract at the end of the season, and with a press conference scheduled for this afternoon, this smoke may well have a raging fire beneath.
The close nature of the news and the announcement has led to natural links between the events, with the club obliged to announce major developments that may influence their share prices as they’re a publicly listed company.
Arsenal have been linked with Klopp in the past, and with Arsene Wenger now at the back end of his career, could it be time for the switch to go through? We at FFC Towers think it may be ideal for all involved… and here are FIVE reasons why!

Genuine top class manager
As it stands there aren’t many genuinely top class managers available. Pep Guardiola is at Bayern Munich and Louis van Gaal is locked in a Manchester United, while coaches such as Antonio Conte have made the switch to international football. Klopp is one of the best around, and if he’s available, then Arsenal will struggle to do better.
The BVB boss has moulded a squad capable of battling Bayern for the German crown over the course of the past few seasons, even though he’s often had key stars sold from under him to their Allianz Arena foes. This term has been poor, there’s no getting away from it, for Dortmund, but one blip in an otherwise glory-filled few years? Not bad.
Arsenal need a fresh start
Wenger has been in charge of Arsenal since 1996… that’s the last millennium. Although loyalty and the ‘long reign’ are often hard to come by in modern football, the length of the Frenchman’s tenure has led to things getting a little stale in north London. Last season’s FA Cup was the team’s first major trophy in nine years, while the Gunners are often criticised for a lack of new ideas.
Wenger is getting too old
Leading on from his long role in the dugout, Wenger is now 65 – making him a pensioner. Although he’s still perfectly able to do his job and physically fit enough to get involved with training ground work, he’s now very much at the back end of a glittering career and has earned himself a long rest.
He may wish to stay on form a while longer, but with Klopp potentially available now, this may be the time to step aside.
Could bring some Dortmund players with him
Managers have trusted players, players that fit their system and know what needs to be done to fulfil tactical asks. So, often bosses take their favoured players with them when they move clubs, and there’s every chance that Arsenal could net a few of Dortmund’s first-teamers… especially with Champions League football off the agenda at the Westfalenstadion for next term.
Mats Hummels is highly-rated, Ilkay Gundogan is one of the best young playmakers around and Marco Reus is a supremely talented attacker. Just a little food for thought.
Stop a rival getting him
Not exactly a great way to go about business, but Arsenal could land Klopp to keep him from a rival. Manchester City are believed to be keen on him as Manuel Pellegrini’s future slips into further doubt, while Liverpool have been aligned with him in the past. Klopp is a top manager, and letting a top manager head to a competitor is something the Gunners are sure to be reluctant to do.
