Jurgen Klopp teases USMNT fans with 4th of July message as he's asked to replace Gregg Berhalter

Jurgen Klopp has paid tribute to American soccer fans with a July 4 message that will only fuel speculation about the German taking over the USMNT.

DailyMail.com columnist Tim Howard this week promised he would travel to Spain to persuade the former Liverpool boss to take over – if US Soccer replaces Gregg Berhalter.

Berhalter is under enormous pressure after the USMNT’s Copa America exit, just two years removed from a home World Cup.

Klopp has not responded to calls for him to take matters into his own hands, but he teased fans with a message on social media on Thursday.

“It’s the perfect day to reflect on my trips with Liverpool to the USA… we had a great time and the American fans are electric! Happy 4th of July,” Klopp wrote alongside a selection of pre-season tour snaps.

The former Liverpool manager also posted pictures from his previous trips to the United States.

The photos showed Klopp training at Yankee Stadium and Fenway Park, as well as taking selfies with fans and signing autographs.

The German is currently enjoying a break from his managerial career after leaving Liverpool at the end of last season.

But Howard is confident he could convince him to lead the USMNT to the 2026 World Cup on home soil.

“I think I could make a very convincing argument,” the legendary goalkeeper wrote. “I’m going to Spain myself. I think so… If we sat around his villa in Spain, I think I could lure him here. 100 percent.

Klopp, who recently turned 57, has ruled out retirement after his nine years on Merseyside.

“There is no question of me stopping working completely,” the German said. “But I don’t see myself continuing at the same pace as before at the moment.”

Alexi Lalas echoed Howard’s thoughts, saying Football bosses would be ““They failed in their duty not to have a conversation with Klopp.”

“He can say he doesn’t want to do it, but you leave no stone unturned in trying to identify and attract the best in the world,” Lalas told the New York Post.

“I know people scoff at the idea that someone with his pedigree and background would ever consider doing this. But until you have that conversation, you don’t know.”
