Arsene Wenger: Jurgen Klopp speculation is "ridiculous"

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger says that speculation about Jurgen Klopp's future is "a bit ridiculous".

Arsene Wenger has described the speculation surrounding Jurgen Klopp's future in football management as "a bit ridiculous".

The Borussia Dortmund manager confirmed that he will leave the Bundesliga side at the end of the season, immediately resulting in him being linked with the likes of Manchester City, Arsenal, Real Madrid and Napoli, as well as a host of other clubs.

The Arsenal manager said at his press conference ahead of this weekend's FA Cup semi-final: "I'm not an agency to place managers. I like every manager and respect everybody. I find that circus a bit ridiculous.

"It's down to every club to make the right decision and to respect Dortmund. Dortmund is a massive club and will survive, and has the ability to keep their best players. They have a big history linked with great results and great achievements so I don't think that will stop for Dortmund."

Klopp has been in charge of Dortmund since 2008, leading the side to two Bundesliga titles and the Champions League final in 2013.
