Jurgen Klinsmann is reportedly in talks with the English FA over the international team's vacant managerial role.
Roy Hodgson resigned as the England manager after a crushing 2-1 defeat to Iceland in the last 16 of Euro 2016 and Glenn Hoddle, Harry Redknapp, Arsene Wenger and Jurgen Klinsmann have all been mentioned as Hodgson's potential successor.
US Soccer had reportedly not granted the English FA permission to speak with the current manager of the US men's national team, but Klinsmann's former teammate Oliver Bierhoff let it slip that the former Tottenham Hotspur striker was in talks with the FA and assured English fans that he would be a good fit for the team.
"I think he is in discussion with England. He also gave the German national team a certain pride, atmosphere and organisation," Bierhoff said.
"The success of the German story is the high quality but also the good organisation and good atmosphere we have in the group.
"He would be a good fit for England. We started in 2004 together and he's not always, how can I say...nice to handle because he wants to change.
"But he brings motivation, he has the courage to make difficult decisions and perhaps you need something like this."
The English FA made it a point to tell fans their search for a new manager would take in every potential candidate and that they would go to great lengths to ensure the right person for the job was found.
Klinsmann took in two spells in the Premier League, both with Spurs in the 90's, and scored 30 goals in 56 appearances for the club.
