SYDNEY: Former United States boss Jurgen Klinsmann is keen on leading Australia at the World Cup, replacing Ange Postecoglou who quit last month, reports said.
The German legend, who was sacked in 2016 after a poor start to the Americans’ World Cup qualifying campaign, commissioned one of his closest friends to scout out the Socceroos job, according to The Adelaide Advertiser and other media late Sunday.
The 53-year-old made the inquiry after Postecoglou walked away to pursue overseas opportunities despite leading Australia to the international showpiece in Russia next year. He is reportedly the frontrunner to take charge of J-League club Yokohama F-Marinos next season. According to The Advertiser, Klinsmann’s friend quizzed a former Australian international about the quality of the domestic A-League, the strength of the national team and the likelihood of Australia being competitive in Russia.
