Jurgen Klinsmann has thrown his weight behind Arsene Wenger's push to hold the World Cup every two years.
Traditionally the competition is held every four years, but Arsenal legend Wenger, who is currently FIFA's chief of global football development, wants to halve the time between events.
The idea has split football but Klinsmann, who famously has a rich World Cup pedigree, is backing the proposals after Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola also endorsed the idea.
He said: 'When you get an idea like this, at first it shocks you and you feel out of your comfort zone,' said the Germany legend.
