'Why Pep & Klopp Will Never Take The England Job'

'Why Pep & Klopp Will Never Take The England Job'

A former Chelsea star has explained why Manchester City's Pep Guardiola will never take the England job.

The Three Lions job is currently vacant after Gareth Southgate announced his departure following the loss to Spain in the 2024 European Championship final.

Southgate guided England to back-to-back European Championship finals and a FIFA World Cup semi-final in 2018.

A few big names have been linked with the role in the last few weeks, including Jurgen Klopp and Mauricio Pochettino.

Former Nigeria and Chelsea star John Obi Mikel says neither Klopp or Guardiola would enjoy the international scene.

"I don't see Jurgen taking the job, definitely not. He's a manager who loves a day-to-day kind of job. And Pep as well," the 37-year-old said on his 'The Obi One' podcast, as cited by Tribuna.

"You can't tell Pep to sit for months and months without doing anything. He'll go crazy.

"He'll go mental. We know how much he lives and breathes football."
