Early this year, Liverpool's head coach announced that he'll be exiting the club. “It is that I am, how can I say it, running out of energy. I have no problem now, obviously, I knew it already for longer that I will have to announce it at one point, but I am absolutely fine now. I know that I cannot do the job again and again and again and again.'' Klopp said in an interview.
Liverpool are in talks to appoint Arne Slot as Jurgen Klopp's successor, with the Feyenoord boss saying he is "confident" of moving to Anfield; Klopp is standing down at the end of the season; Jamie Carragher is surprised Liverpool did not consider Bayern Munich's Thomas Tuchel.
Jamie Carragher says Liverpool should have considered a "proven winner" such as Thomas Tuchel to replace Jurgen Klopp.
Liverpool are in talks with Feyenoord to appoint Arne Slot, with the 45-year-old revealing on Thursday he is "confident" of moving to Anfield as Klopp prepares to exit at the end of the season.
Slot has impressed in the Netherlands, winning the Eredivisie last season and the KNVB Cup earlier this month with Feyenoord, but Carragher is surprised Liverpool did not place more focus on Tuchel, who is leaving Bayern Munich at the end of the season.
Carragher, who thinks Liverpool should also consider Thomas Tuchel, said: "I would have given more thorough consideration to a coach like Thomas Tuchel, who took on and beat Pep Guardiola in the ultimate test - a Champions League final.
"Tuchel followed Klopp at Mainz and Borussia Dortmund and did well. It has not worked out at Bayern Munich this season, but you only have to look at Carlo Ancelotti and Unai Emery to recognise how top coaches recover from setbacks"
The former Liverpool defender believes Tuchel's reputation may have put Liverpool off, saying: "If another English club takes Tuchel, that would convince me they will significantly improve, but my sense is Liverpool don't want a coach with a reputation for being fractious.
"I would prefer a proven winner who could be difficult to manage to a coach who might be easy to manage but still have everything to prove.
Liverpool are in talks to decide on who to take as their head manager.
