Beckenbauer bent on coaxing Klopp to Bayern

BERLIN - German soccer legend Franz Beckenbauer said on Monday he wants to see Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp in the Bayern Munich dugout.

As Germany celebrated Klopp's success in last Saturday's Champions League final, Beckenbauer told Bild newspaper he was desperate to see the former Borussia Dortmund coach join Bundesliga champion Bayern.

"I want nothing more than to see Klopp come to Bayern one day, it would be a good fit," said the 73-year-old, who won five German titles with Bayern as a player and coach.
