I don't know why Jurgen Klopp keeps having a swing, admits Gareth Southgate.

Southgate then built on the established foundation by taking his team all the way to the final in UEFA Euro 2020 where they suffered a heartbreaking loss to Italy in the finals.  The 51-year-old has been lauded for improving the standards of the Three Lions as well as fostering a sense of team spirit amongst a host of personalities. Klopp has repeatedly taken aim at the Englishman for various reasons and looks like he has a bone to pick with Southgate. But Southgate has revealed that he holds no grudges and there is no conflict between the pair.

“I don’t quite know why he keeps having a swing, you’d have to ask him. I think we’ve always got on reasonably well. I’ve noticed quite a few articles and quite a few comments, which is always interesting to see. Do I form bonds with club managers? They come and go pretty quickly so it’s important to have a good relationship somewhere in the clubs, but maybe the managers [aren’t] the priority because it’s very transient,” Southgate told reporters in a press conference.
