Report: Jurgen Klinsmann interested in England job

United States manager Jurgen Klinsmann is reportedly interested in moving across the pond for his next international managerial job.

With Roy Hodgson announcing his resignation following England's elimination from Euro 2016 on Monday, sources revealed to Sky Sports that Klinsmann is interested in applying for one of the most scrutinized jobs in all of football and become the next leader of the Three Lions.

Though his contract with the U.S. runs through the 2018 World Cup in Russia, Klinsmann has faced criticism over his failure to propel the U.S. to the next level after only managing to secure the 2013 Gold Cup since being appointed manager in 2011.

His last major tournament saw the U.S. fall short of winning silverware on home soil when the country bowed out of the Copa America Centenario in the semifinals.

A three-man panel appointed by the English Football Association will select the next manager of England, with reports suggesting former under-21 coach Gareth Southgate will take over on an interim basis during the first stage of the country's 2018 World Cup qualifying campaign this fall.
