Trent Alexander-Arnold has expressed his preference for Jürgen Klopp as the next England manager, should the position become available.

The England and Liverpool defender reflected positively on his past experiences with Klopp, describing their time together as filled with “amazing memories” and a strong, “amazing bond.”

Despite his endorsement, Alexander-Arnold admits he would be astonished if Klopp were to take on the role.

Klopp, who has been linked with the England job since Gareth Southgate’s resignation following England’s 2-1 defeat to Spain in the Euro 2024 final, seems to be enjoying his current break from football.

Alexander-Arnold noted that Klopp’s social media activity and recent public statements suggest he is content with his time off, making it seem unlikely that he would step into the England manager’s position.

While names like Graham Potter, Eddie Howe, and Lee Carsley have been floated as potential candidates, Alexander-Arnold’s comments highlight his belief in Klopp’s potential but also recognize the improbability of such a move given Klopp’s current enjoyment of his hiatus.

Speaking on the Ariel Helwani Show, the 35-year-old praised MatchRoom Boxing, the promotion team he’s been with since turning pro in 2013, and hinted that he’ll finish his journey with them. “It’s been 12 years with MatchRoom, and after 12 years, I’ll throw my last punch with them,” Joshua said. “They’ve helped fighters chase greatness, and I’m proud to have been part of that.”

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has confirmed he’ll be stepping away from football for a long break once his time at the club ends. The 54-year-old, who has led City to 18 trophies, including six Premier League titles and a Champions League win, says he plans to prioritise his health after years in the dugout.

Guardiola, who joined the club in 2016, revealed in an interview with GQ Spain that taking a break is not just an idea, but a firm decision. “I’m definitely going to stop after this chapter with City,” he said. “It’s already decided. I just don’t know how long—maybe a year, maybe five, maybe even more. But I need time to take care of myself.” His current contract runs until 2027.

Former Barcelona star Rivaldo has backed Marcus Rashford to make a big impact at his new club. Rashford, who recently made a season-long switch from Manchester United to Barcelona, agreed to a 15 per cent wage cut to seal the move.

Rivaldo praised the 27-year-old, calling him a fantastic player and expressing confidence in his ability to succeed in Spain. He said Rashford just needs to understand his role in the team and adapt to the coach’s style, and once he does, he believes the forward will thrive in the Barcelona setup.
