JURGEN KLINSMANN is in talks for the England job, his ex-boss has revealed.
German general manager Oliver Bierhoff says Klin, who began his country’s return to greatness, has spoken to FA bigwigs.
Bierhoff said: “I think he is in discussion with England. He would be a good fit. When Klinsmann became Germany coach, we gave the national team a certain pride, atmosphere and organisation.
“We started in 2004 together and he’s not always nice to handle because he wants change.
“He has the courage to make difficult decisions.”
Germany have never failed to reach the semi-finals of a major tournament since Klin, 51, began his two-year reign in 2004.
