Gary Lineker recommends Jürgen Klopp as possible successor to Gareth Southgate

new momentum for the English football team?

The recent defeat of the English national team at the European Championship against Spain has triggered discussions about a possible change in the coaching staff. The former international Gary Lineker is in favor of that Jürgen Klopp could be a serious option for the vacant position of the trainer. Lineker emphasizes that Klopp is currently without a job and could therefore have already rested to start a new role.

Klopp as a potential candidate

The discussions about Klopp as potential coaches for England were primarily fueled by Lineker's recommendation. Although Klopp is half German, he is considered at home by many in England due to his long time in England. A possible hurdle on the way to this decision could be the salary that coaches such as Klopp usually demand, Lineker said. It remains to be seen whether the FA is willing to do this financial effort. The current national coach Gareth Southgate left his future open after the defeat in the final - his contract will continue until the end of the year.

Klopps current situation

After Jürgen Klopp left Liverpool FC after nine years, he is currently planning a break from the coaching business. Nevertheless, there are numerous rumors about possible new coaching items for the 57-year-old. Among other things, the USA, as a co-host country of the upcoming World Cup, is also said to have shown interest in Klopp's services. It remains exciting to see whether Klopp will place again on the coaching bench of a top club or a national team.
