Just listened to three well-known BBC pundits talk about Pep Guardiola and Jurken Klopp for the English national team manager. What a trio of plonkers!
Silly as it might sound, I wouldn’t rule Klopp out of taking the job for a couple of good reasons.
The first is that he has said in several interviews since leaving Liverpool that although he obviously wants to work again at some point in the future, he can’t ever see himself working at the same intensity as he did at Liverpool, so an international managing job could give him that, with a lot less games and without the transfer pressures of club management. He could also have another few weeks holiday before actually taking the role.
The second reason is that Klopp is available now but if he wanted to get back into club football then it would probably only be with a very small number of clubs but there are no stand out candidates that are currently manager free. Klopp would be forced to wait for someone to be sacked, meaning that the club were probably doing badly, so he would need to rebuild. Managing England could offer him a chance to take on a team at a time when they have real potential right now.
