Klinsmann back on Liverpool radar? Jurgen wants Premier League job

22 October 2009 12:17
Former Liverpool target Jurgen Klinsmann still has ambitions to take charge of a team in the Premier League. The ex-Tottenham striker was sounded out about taking over at Anfield two years ago by co-owners George Gillett and Tom Hicks. At the time, the Americans insisted Klinsmann was a contingency plan in case Rafa Benitez walked away from the club. Klinsmann, who left his post as Germany manager after the 2006 World Cup, has been out of work since he was sacked by Bayern Munich before the end of last season. But when asked if a top-flight team in England still appeals, he said: 'You never rule anything out. Once you've experienced the emotions that football can give you, you want to continue having them. 'I never thought I would manage Germany in the World Cup and then become Bayern Munich manager last year.' Klinsmann was shocked by Liverpool's defeat to Lyon this week but added in The Sun: 'I think a tie in Lyon and if you beat Fiorentina at home that will probably put you through. Nothing's lost yet. 'It's a difficult moment for Rafa. Maybe the game on Sunday is the right one to beat Manchester United at home to turn the situation around.' Benitez is under increasing pressure after the Reds lost four straight games for the first time since 1987. They trail Premier League leaders United by seven points ahead of Sunday's showdown at Anfield.
