I’D BE SURPRISED IF KLOPP ACCEPTS ENGLAND JOB – ALEXANDER-ARNAOLD
Trent Alexander-Arnold has admitted he would be “surprised” if his former Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp took over as England manager.
Klopp left Liverpool at the end of last season after revealing he felt fatigued after almost nine years managing the club.
He has been linked to the England job following the departure of Gareth Southgate.
But Alexander-Arnold believes his former boss will spend a bit more time off before returning to management.
“I would be surprised if he did take it,” he told The Mirror.
“It was clear when he announced when he was leaving, the conversations I have had with him, everything on social media, he seems to be enjoying his time off, so it would be a huge surprise.”
Alexander-Arnold made his Liverpool debut under Klopp and his England debut under Southgate, so is experiencing a summer of big change.
He showed his appreciation for Southgate, suggesting the former Three Lions boss deserves more respect and credit for getting England to two major finals.
“It was similar to how I felt when my club manager Jurgen Klopp was leaving. They were the people who gave me my debuts, and made my dreams come true.
“The way he dealt with it was incredible and yet again, he got us to a final.”
