Jurgen Klinsmann and US Soccer have both denied a report Wednesday that linked the national team coach to the manager position at Everton.

The denials came in response to a social media post by ESPN announcer Ian Darke, who tweeted: "Persistent Merseyside rumours that USA coach Jurgen Klinsmann could be next Everton manager."

The post by Darke was later deleted.

Roberto Martinez is currently manager of Everton.
