Borussia Dortmund coach Marco Rose has received a message from former BVB coach Jürgen Klopp.

“He wrote to me a few days ago that I should take good care of his ‘ex’. And I know how much he loves this club,” said Rose in the Sports picture.

Rose played as a left-back under today’s Liverpool coach Klopp at FSV Mainz 05 between 2002 and 2008.

Rose also spoke about his departure from Borussia Mönchengladbach and his relationship with sports director Max Eberl. “There is no piece of paper between Max and me,” said Rose: “From the first to the last day I identified myself 100 percent with my job in Gladbach, with my players, with the staff and everyone in the club.”

The 44-year-old is also hoping for a successful season for the Revier neighbor FC Schalke 04. He wishes the Royal Blues promotion. “That would be good so that there will be derbies again next year,” said Rose.
