Jamie Carragher names his ideal replacement for Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool

Former Liverpool player Jamie Carragher believes Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers would be at the ‘top of the list to replace Jurgen Klopp if he left Liverpool. According to Carragher, the Northern Irishman would do a great job for the Reds in their current situation if Klopp leaves Liverpool.

Carragher told Sky Sports: “I’m a huge fan of Brendan Rodgers and think he’s a brilliant manager. I worked with him for 12 months at Liverpool and I think this job came too early for him. If Jurgen Klopp was to leave Liverpool tomorrow Brendan Rodgers would be top of the list.”

“That’s not going to happen because he’s been here [Liverpool] before – but done a brilliant job at Leicester. It is a bump in the road and I almost feel for Leicester. Because they’ve fallen away at the end and it’s almost looked at negatively,” he added

Liverpool’s success under the maestro Jurgen Klopp

Rodgers took charge of Liverpool in June 2012. Liverpool finished second in the 2013-14 Premier League – just two points behind champions Manchester City. This was the Reds’ best performance under Rodgers. Then, Jurgen Klopp took over and he has been excellent for the Reds since replacing Rodgers on Merseyside back in 2015. He led Liverpool to their first-ever Premier League title after 30 long years. Besides winning European Champion League, Super Cup, and World Club Cup.

“They’re a really good side, a great club in how they recruit but it’s still overachieving what they’ve been doing in the mix of that top four under Brendan Rodgers year in, year out. He won’t panic, they’ll come back, but I think it’ll be tough to get into the top four for any club now with the strength of what we see at those top four clubs now. It will be tough but they will move up the table.” said Jamie Carragher
