Klopp will not resign Borussia Dortmund position despite relegation threat

Jurgen Klopp insists he will not quit as Borussia Dortmund head coach despite the threat of relegation.

Dortmund remain rooted to the foot of the Bundesliga table after losing 1-0 at home to 10-man Augsburg on Wednesday.

The defeat is the 11th of the season for the 2013 Champions League finalists and led to some of the players apologising to fans after the final whistle.

But Klopp, who took over at Dortmund in 2008, insisted he has no plans to walk away, saying: "I can rule out resigning. After only two games this year, the tank isn't completely empty."

"Resignation wasn't on my mind on Wednesday, so accordingly it's not an issue for me."

Klopp has been given a job guarantee by Dortmund CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke on the back of four successful years which saw the club win the title in 2011 and 2012 and come second in the following two seasons.

But he is under pressure after the latest defeat to Augsburg and called on his side to ‘get a grip’ on the situation.
