LONDON: World Cup winner, Joachim Low is reportedly also interested in the position as England manager.
Low, 64, who managed Germany for 15 years and helped the country lift the World Cup trophy in Brazil in 2014, is seen ready to discuss the matter with the English Football Association (FA) following the resignation of Gareth Southgate.
Apart from him, another German manager and former Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp, has also been the talk of the town in England but he is said to be clearly not interested in returning to football this summer.
Eddie Howe, Graham Potter and Lee Carsley are also reportedly on the FA’s shortlist.
The FA may prefer to choose a local operator but has not ruled out the possibility of hiring an outside manager.
The last game Low managed before stepping down as Germany manager was when the team lost 2-0 to England at Wembley in the Euro 2020 best 16 competition, three years ago.
The former Stuttgart and Fenerbahce manager then decided not to work since then.
Southgate earns 5 million pounds a year to manage The Three Lions and Low was only paid half of that amount during his last contract with the German FA.
Klopp earns 15 million pounds per season with Liverpool and the estimated average salary seems reasonable for the FA.
Under the management of Low, Germany also managed to advance to the final of Euro 2008 but lost 1-0 at the hands of Spain.
