Richard Keys urges England to appoint Liverpool legend after Gareth Southgate departure

Pundit Richard Keys has suggested to the FA that a Liverpool legend is appointed as the new manager of England after Gareth Southgate’s departure.

The Three Lions boss this week announced his departure from the position after guiding England to a second successive Euros final, with Southgate’s side again falling short of silverware▨, extending the years of hurt to 58.

With Newcastle United’s Eddie Howe the early favourite to replace Southg⭕ate as England manager, the position could quickly become one o🌌f the most sought-after in football given the current generation the Three Lions have on their books.

Yet Keys h♚as suggested that a Liverpool icon could be the dream appointment for England.

England urged to move for former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp

Taking to Twitter, the Bein Sports pundit made the left-field suggestion that Jurgen Klopp should be approached for the E🍰ngland job, with the German manager currently a free-agent after leaving Liverpool at the end of last season.

Keys posted: “Southgate should’ve gone after WC. He wasted 2 gilt-edged shots at Euros. Wembley was set up to win. Now we need someone to put fire into the bellies of these ‘nice’ players. Not a clone. Get Klopp. He’s the best out ther🐠e🌊.”

Already contacted by the ꦚUSA over their vacant manag𒐪er role, the prospect oꦉf Klopp taking over at England remain close to zero given that the Liverpool legend seems intent on taking time out fro൲m football after nine years at Anfield.

Moreover, given the options England already have on their shortlist, it seems clear that the Three Lions are heading in a different direction and style of play than what Klopp 🌸can offer, despite the former Liverpool man’s obvious successes.

England chasing after Klopp is a hopeless endeavor

There’s no de💝nying that Klopp would be an incredible England manager, with the former Liverpool and Borussia Dortmund coach one of the best in the world on the touchline and a figure that will get the Three Lions to give it their best.

However, as we know, Klopp is set on taking a b💞reak from football after nine years at Liverpool that saw the ꦚGerman manager win almost everything there is to win as a Premier League manager.

And for England, chasing after Klopp would be a foolish endeavor given how much 🍌money and time would be wasted discussing with someone who is likely to say no 💜to the proposal.
