Julian Nagelsmann's future is set to be decided in the next few weeks according to Germany national team director Rudi Voller.
Liverpool have been linked with the former Bayern Munich boss amid their search for Jurgen Klopp's successor. Nagelsmann is set to manage Germany during their home tournament at the summer's European Championships, but his future beyond that remains unclear.
Sporting Lisbon boss Ruben Amorim had been seen as a leading contender to replace Klopp this summer but the Portuguese has since poured cold water on suggestions that he has been interviewed for the Reds job. The 39-year-old is the latest big-name manager to speak out on the speculation with Xabi Alonso announcing that he would stay at Bayer Leverkusen after being heavily linked.

And Voller has revealed that a decision on Nagelsmann's future will be made shortly. It comes amid reports that he could be set to extend his stay with the national team, although Voller admits that "a lot of inquiries" have been made for the 36-year-old tactician.
"There will be a decision in the next few weeks," Voller told DPA. "He has a lot of inquiries. It's no secret that we would like to continue with him, but he has many top clubs to choose from. We hope he stays with us."
Brighton boss Roberto de Zerbi has also been linked with the Reds' job. However, the 44-year-old has insisted that his focus is on guiding the Seagulls towards a European place for a second successive season. De Zerbi's team are currently 10th in the Premier League table.
