Jurgen Klopp is wanted by Germany, but they will need to wait if they want to poach him from Liverpool.
.
Borussia Dortmund is apparently interested in hiring the man from their own country after axing Hansi Flick as head coach. Although Klopp has stated that it would be “an honor” to lead Die Mannschaft, he is by no means the only option.The Reds would feel confident in keeping the Premier League and Champions League winner at Anfield since he still has three years left on his contract. However, the most recent speculations can prompt senior officials to begin making plans for what will happen following Klopp.
Look at a few of the best players Liverpool might be considering:
Pep LijndersThe Dutchman and Klopp have a lengthy history together; the latter hired the former in 2014 as a youth coach at Anfield before Brendan Rodgers promoted him. The old coach was retained by Klopp after the Northern Irishman was replaced.
He remained with the business up until he received an offer for his first managerial role in January 2018. The Dutch Eredivisie team NEC Nijmegen is now managed by Lijnders.
Before going back to Anfield, he participated in 22 games over the course of five months for the team.Jude NagelsmannIf the Liverpool management decides they want to continue recruiting German coaches, they might be persuaded to hire Nagelsmann. The 36-year-old was acquired by Bundesliga team RB Leipzig after watching him play for Hoffenheim.
After being transferred back to Bayern Munich, he kept up his outstanding performance with the German national team. Despite winning the Bundesliga in his first season there, Nagelsmann was fired from the Allianz Arena just over two years later.
Given that he is said to be one of the candidates in Germany’s search for a new manager, it would be very funny if Liverpool were to appoint him.Hansi Flick saidFlick’s credentials are indisputable despite his dismissal, following the trend of recently sacked German ex-Bayern Munich coaches. He excelled at Hoffenheim before working as Joachim Low’s assistant in the German system.
That was enough to get him a chance with Bayern, and during his tenure there, he won two league championships, the German Cup, the Champions League, as well as numerous other prizes. He may have had his career wrecked during his time in power in Germany.
Liverpool supporters should be wary of their decision to hire Flick as manager given that Klopp recently departed Borussia Dortmund following a season in which the team was a relegation challenger for the majority of the year.Former Reds midfielder Xabi Alonso has stayed in the Bundesliga and is making quite a name for himself there with Xabi Alonso at the helm. Prior to being appointed by Bayer Leverkusen, he made his managerial debut with Real Sociedad’s reserve team.
Alonso maintained the squad in the league and led them to the semifinals of the Europa League in his first season. Despite Spurs’ interest, he signed a new contract, which turned out to be a smart decision given that Leverkusen is presently in first place in the Bundesliga.
Alonso is rumored to have an unwritten understanding with the team to leave if he receives a good offer from somewhere else, like Liverpool.Dedicated to Graham PotterGraham Potter hasn’t been a manager since his disastrous tenure at Chelsea, but this in no way diminishes his talent. The 48-year-old had previously represented Ostersund in Sweden, where he worked his way through the ranks before being given the chance to play for Swansea in English football.
He moved again a year later, this time to Brighton, where Potter made headlines by guiding the team to the Premier League. Potter was signed by Chelsea and made the highest-paid manager in the league after three years at the AMEX.
Only 31 games were given to him across all competitions during his time at Stamford Bridge before he was let go. The subsequent difficulties experienced by Frank Lampard and Mauricio Pochettino suggest that perhaps it was not entirely his responsibility.
