Harry Redknapp: 'Jurgen Klopp would be good manager for England'

Harry Redknapp suggests Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp for the England manager's post if the FA opts for a foreign candidate.

Harry Redknapp has suggested that Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp would be a good appointment as the next permanent England boss.

Interim manager Gareth Southgate will take charge of the last two games of his initial deal against Scotland and Spain over the coming days before the FA is expected to name a permanent successor to Sam Allardyce.

Redknapp believes that Southgate is the best available candidate but threw up Klopp's name if the FA were to look abroad.

"Gareth's as good a candidate as there is. I hope he's a great success. What is he doing well? I don't know. Qualifying for the World Cup? We'll do that. Then what? He's a great lad, was a good player. As a manager he hasn't proved anything. Maybe he was at a club, Middlesbrough, where it was difficult to achieve at the time. I don't know. He's taken the Under 21s and they've done OK," he told the Daily Mail.

"I think Gareth fits. There's not a lot around. They were talking about Ralf Rangnick, a German bloke I'd hardly heard of. What's he done? Why should he be manager of England? Would the Germans have an English manager? Not a chance. Maybe Jurgen Klopp would be OK. I do like Klopp's personality. It looks like the Liverpool players want to play for him. But it should be English.

"You could go for Sean Dyche, he's getting blood from a stone at Burnley. Eddie Howe is an obvious candidate. In two or three years I can see Eddie being England manager. At the moment he's happy at Bournemouth, he's at home with a good owner."

Redknapp was considered for the England job in 2012 only to be overlooked in favour of Roy Hodgson.
