Jurgen Klopp has insisted that he will not be leaving Borussia Dortmund after his side's disappointing Bundesliga form continued on Sunday.
A 2-0 defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt leaves Dortmund bottom of the table, but Klopp claims that he has never considered leaving the club he has guided to great success since becoming manager in 2008.
"I understand that journalists have those thoughts, but there is no such trend," the 47-year-old told reporters. "I see myself as responsible.
"If it is only about luck and a change of coach can bring that, you only have to call me up and I will step aside, but it is not so simple. As long as nobody comes and says to me, 'we have someone who does it better', then I cannot go.
"I won't stand in the way, but I cannot go before there is a better solution, the responsibility is great and I can accept it."
Dortmund, who finished second behind Bayern Munich last season, have lost eight of their 13 league games in the current campaign.
