Managerial target of Liverpool, Ange Postecoglou, has made it clear that he is not willing to leave Tottenham Hotspurs despite LFC interest.
LFC’s Managerial Dilemma
Jurgen Klopp’s announcement about his Anfield departure at the end of the season sent shockwaves throughout the footballing world.
The announcement also meant that the club’s higher officials have to work relentlessly to find a long-term and effective replacement for the German manager.
Over the course of nine years, Klopp has led the club to the top of footballing success despite having to rely upon a shoestring budget and several other constraints.
Now the club authority has this massive pressure of finding a manager who can atleast carry on the legacy of Jurgen Klopp.
The Shortlist for Next Potential Managers
Since the announcement, names of many managers are doing the rounds who can be a successor to Jurgen Klopp.
Xabi Alonso is the most prominent man who appears at the top of the wanted list of the Merseysiders.
In his first season of top-flight managerial job, the Spaniard is leading Bayer Leverkusen to their first potential Bundesliga title.
So his impressive achievement has made him a highly sought after prospect for many clubs, but more so for Bayern Munich.
Sporting Lisbon manager Ruben Amorim is also another candidate who is in this mix of names.
Brighton and Hove Albion manager Roberto De Zerbi has also been under consideration for the job.
Ange Postecoglou Chooses Tottenham Over Liverpool
An unlikely name that has surfaced as the next potential successor of Klopp is Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou.
The Australian manager has been appointed by the north London club last summer and has proved his worth in the PL.
These performances has prompted LFC management to look into the possibility of hiring Postecoglou.
However, according to a report via Football Insider, the Spurs boss has no intention of leaving the club, even though he is a Liverpool fan.
The 58-year-old feels he has some unfinished business with the North Londoners that is keeping him away from seeking any move out at this moment.
This is definitely complicating the already tough job to replace Klopp and what he brings to the table. The coming months will be crucial for the Anfield giants to secure a worthy manager.
