Jurgen Klinsmann has denied claims from Bob Bradley that he 'jockeyed' for the USA national team job in 2011.

At his official unveiling as Swansea City manager last week, Bradley accused the former Tottenham Hotspur and Bayern Munich striker of angling for his position within US Soccer.

The German replaced Bradley just over five years ago but does not believe there was any wrongdoing on his behalf.

"No. I mean it's simply not true," said Klinsmann of Bradley's claims.

"I could have taken the job in 2006. I could have taken it in 2010. And then we got together in 2011 to finally figure out a way to make this happen. So I was not jockeying anything."

Klinsmann added: "I wish Bob the very, very best.

"I think it's a big, big moment having an American coach coaching a Premier League club. I think it's huge. And he's an awesome guy.

"He's a good person, and I just keep my fingers crossed for him."
