However the German has quashed any rumours that he could be replacing stand-in boss Gareth Southgate as manager by saying there was "no truth" to the rumours.

Taking to Twitter, Klinsmann wrote: "No truth to rumours regarding England.

"Our entire focus is on November 11 when Columbus will rock."

English football was rocked with the news that Allardyce was caught up in a elaborate newspaper sting.

The former Sunderland manager lasted just a total of 67 days at the helm of the national squad.

And now the FA are left with the task of finding a long-term replacement with Alan Pardew, Steve Bruce and Eddie Howe just some of the names being touted.

Southgate will oversee the England squad for the upcoming World Cup qualifying clashes against Malta at Wembley and then away to Slovenia next month.

The former England Under-21 manager will then face a double header against Scotland before taking on European giants Spain.
