Jurgen Klinsmann has urged English football to embrace a "change of culture".
The USA coach believes that the England national side will not be a success until the way football is taught throughout the country drastically changes.
"[English football] basically needs a change of culture, because if you don't change the culture then you will never know the end result," BBC Sport quotes Klinsmann as saying.
"I'm a strong believer that if things don't work, then you've got to go a different way and take the risk,
"If you keep on doing what you did before, you will never have the success that you wish to have. It needs a lot of strength from the people in charge to say 'it's going to be different'."
The former Tottenham Hotspur striker scored 47 goals in 108 appearances for Germany.
