But ex-Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund defender Metzelder is backing Liverpool boss Klopp, who guided Dortmund to two Bundesliga titles during his time at Signal Iduna Park, to take the job.
“He is a top man-manager and could make the complex power relationship work wonderfully,” he told Sky Sport Deutschland.
“[Julian] Nagelsmann is an outstanding coach but Bayern Munich is, of course, a different size [to Hoffenheim]. From my point of view, Jurgen Klopp would be ready.”
