Rio Ferdinand has explained why Jurgen Klopp would have never taken the England jobRio Ferdinand reckons Jurgen Klopp would have declined the England job due to his close ties with Liverpool. However, Manchester United legend Ferdinand didn't see Klopp as a viable option given he'd cited tiredness as a key reason for quitting Liverpool after nine successful years in charge. Speaking on his YouTube channel, Rio Ferdinand Presents, he said: "Who else was available? Klopp comes out of Liverpool, but I don't think he was quite gettable." He left under the circumstances of saying he was tired and there were personal issues going on, then jumps into the England job straight away - I don't think that was going to happen."
