    'I've got two big questions no one is asking about Jurgen Klopp and the England job'

    Former Liverpool left-back Stephen Warnock has questioned whether or not Jurgen Klopp would be perfectly suited to the vacant England manager's job .

    The German is inevitably set to be among the discussed contenders to replace Gareth Southgate , though it remains to be seen whether or not he would seriously consider it. Klopp has already turned down the chance to take over from Gregg Berhalter as the manager of the USMNT .

    "I don't know whether the England job would suit Jurgen Klopp's style and whether he could get a squad up to speed with how we wants them to press within a 10-day period," Warnock told BetVictor . "If you look back to some of the players he signed at Liverpool , it took them anywhere between six months and a year to understand what he wants tactically.

    "You don't get that time in international football. Would it be enough for him as a manager to not be with the players each day? And would he even want to be England's manager? He may think that he would rather be the Germany manager, and at some point, taking the England job may mean he misses out on the opportunity to be the German manager.

    "He's clearly a fantastic manager and I'd love to see him coach England because I think he'd do an amazing job. But whether everything would fit in the jigsaw the way you'd want it to, I'm not so sure."

    Liverpool.com says: Klopp would clearly do a good job with England but there are pros and cons to him thinking about taking the role. The German would need to be employed at the end of his break, meaning the Three Lions would need to wait and find an interim option in the meantime, but the FA has not ruled out such a move.
