da bwin: In an exclusive interview with Football FanCast, former Premier League defender Steve Howey believes Jurgen Klopp could still take the German national team job at the end of the season, despite saying he wasn’t interested last month.
da betcris: Joachim Low announced he would be stepping down from the role which he has held for eight years after this summer’s European Championships, having guided his country to a World Cup victory in 2014.
According to Sky Bet, Germany are the fourth-favourites to win the competition, behind England, France and Belgium which could largely be down to their group that consists of Hungary, Portugal and France.
Speaking on why Klopp may decide to take the job at the end of the season and what might have changed his mind, Howey told FFC:
“If I’m being brutally honest, I don’t think it matters that Klopp denied wanting the Germany job because come the end of the season he might think he has done enough and needs a new challenge. He may say ‘I know I told you that I would stay, but things have changed’.
“However, he could be a massive man of his word, which you would like to think he is, and I do think Liverpool will come good again next season.”
Klopp was quick to distance himself from the rumours linking him with a change of scenery to manage his country of birth.
Jurgen Klopp has turned Liverpool into a strong force domestically and in Europe having guided them to a Champions League and first-ever Premier League title.
