Neil Warnock on the next England managerNeil Warnock has tipped England to hire Mauricio Pochettino or Jurgen Klopp as the next permanent manager.
“I hope it’s someone who has a bit of a reputation. I think they could get the best out of the team. I’d give it to Pochettino, or if they keep Carsley, why don’t they make sure Klopp comes in next?” Warnock said at an exclusive premiere of sports documentary “Gaffer”
“He’s the best manager in the world for England. He won’t get the money and the wages, but I’m sure if he said he’d come, they’d find it from somewhere.”
Gaffer will be available to audiences on Sky Sports at 11pm on Friday 16th August and on Sky On Demand the next day. It will also playout as a four-part mini-series on Sky Sports PL YouTube from Friday 16th August.
