If Steven Gerard wants to stay a LFC legend, he needs to completely stay away from the club from a managerial perspective until the expectations have either massively dropped, or unless he is actually world class as a manager. He's failing in a saudi league with unlimited money, he will not even get top 10 in his first season as a LFC manager.
Couldn't agree more. He was shite at Villa who drastically improved when Emery took over and is now managing in a poor standard league. Just because he was a great player doesn't mean he will be a great manager as proved with Frank Lampard.
Gerrard absolutely wont get the job.
I hope xabi alonso gets it hes not a bad manager tbh still really sad that klopp had stepped down as manager for liverpool
No way he can succeed Klopp
You say this as if we are begging him to join and manage LFC 😂 Stevie is not getting any offer from a top division side in Europe ever again let him enjoy his paid vacation in Saudi
Sad day for the league been following Klopp since Dortmund . Liverpool fans should look at positives, this news will motivate all the players to win the PL for him 🔥
I love Stevie G as a player but not as the next manager for Liverpool.
Players were only told this morning before the public. Klopp said they took it well, but I just cannot imagine what it was like for the senior players...
@mrmister769 I imagine that LFC is entering the next phase in looking for his successor this spring. That is probably why this announcement was made before it could be leaked. No way they were going to be able to put a lid on it until summer. But, yes, what a shocker of an announcement given everything that's going on right now.
Apparently the players have known for month's .
@@pip1723 I feel like it would’ve been impossible to keep it under the wraps if the players had been told. Players aren’t exactly good at keeping secrets. They have friends, wives, family members, even reporters, etc. that they talk to
Who knows but I'm sure they'll have heard about long before the press conference today.
@@pip1723 Klopp himself said he told the players only this morning right before training. Also there is a good article in the Telegraph about how he told the players and their reaction.
Xabi Alonso or Klopp's current assistant, Pep Lijnders (yes i know he said he's leaving too but....)
@@Trolley-vt8qh yes i know. Did u not read my comment
No I can’t see Pep Lijnders spearheading a club of Liverpool’s stature. He is a good number 2, no doubt but can’t be a manager.
Me personally i think it'll be between Xabi or De Zerbi, not sure if I can see anyone else
Not Linjders, not capable, Xabi Alonso will our new manager
but it is possible to re-sign Pep as a manager, just make an offer to him… after they all leave, contract termination, LFC can always make an offer to Pep or anyone in the backroom staff…
Much respect to Sig. Garcia. Nice to see him. I loved him as a Liverpool player. YNWA
For me, though, Alonso is the choice. Gerrard had the passion to make it work at Rangers (I'm a Red first, but I am a Glaswegian), but Xabi was a player who understood how to make others play around him, despite "not being the quickest " (not my words, Rafa Benitez').
Mark my words, Alonso is the man. He's the next generation of elite football manager.
Luis Garcia played for Liverpool ... but after he left the club ... he became a Liverpool fan ... he made strong bonds with the club
The right time to go .Handing a good team and atmosphere to new coach is the right decision
Now I’m over the shock, I tend to agree with you. He’s going to leave a fantastic team.
@@Inglese001 average team punching above their weight
Good team to hand over to Alonso (hopefully).....
Old User-blablabla above me is just trolling ...........or he hasn't got a Scooby Doo 🤦🏻♂️
Quadder
Agree if that kind of situation Liverpool is another in the world. And hope new manager could fill in the boots and at least reach 80-90% of what kloop give to the club. Liverpool always Liverpool. Without huge budget or huge world class player still we are the best club in the world. Dont want to speak about other club but we're the best among them on club management.
Got to be Xabi for sure
Xabi extended at Leverkusen till 2026, so no chance. But probably the even better option is free. The 36y old Nagelsmann has no contract and is at the German national team only for the one cup.
@@mrherbal even if he has extended his contract, any club can still sign him except the club must compensate to leverkusen
Klopp signed an extension to his contract to 2026 too but is leaving this summer. Contracts mean nothing@@mrherbal
i heard someone said that Xabi has a release clause in his contract, in which he can only leave for 2 clubs, which are Real Madrid or Liverpool. If he goes to Madrid, i think Ancelotti is the best candidate to take the post at Liverpool but for a good couple of seasons only..
@@reezevlog i would love Ancelotti too but no way Madrid would let him leave this summer
This is seismic because the whole backroom team follows him out the door...
If Liverpool wants to play the same style as under Klopp, the current assistant, Pep Lijnders would be the best coach to replace him.
A hero knows when to leave.
Pepijn Lijnders would be an excellent successor, just like Bob Paisley was after Bill Shankly left. Liverpool became the most successful because of people like Ronnie Moran, Roy Evans, Joe Fagan, Bill Shankly and Bob Paisley. Liverpool no longer has the Bootroom. Apart from Shankly, all the people above also played for the club. So Liverpool will not only need to find a competent manager, Liverpool will also have to find a competent backroom staff to help the manager. It will be hard. However, I do have a lot of confidence in FSG in finding the next best manager.
Not sure who's going to replace Jurgen, who ever it is ,I wish him well.
I admired Gerrard all my youth as a player, but there is no way in hell I'll ever want him as manager, no chance.
If LFC are smart, they hire De Zerbi. Hungry, young Mgr with PL experience. Seems like it would be a good fit.
Not won anything though.
With you on that one man think it would be a fantastic successor
FSG will try to get Xabi Alonso, but if he turns down the job De Zerbi would be interesting choice.
De zerbi only if we get Brighton's scouting team as well... package deal😂
@@weliveinasimulation.De Zerbi can bring all his backroom staffs plus the scouting gangs😅
Lucho 100% wants him to come to barcelona if xavi leaves😂
💯 I’d take Alonso and LFC fans will give him time to settle no problem. Stevie shot himself in the foot going to Villa
agreed.. we need to give him time like how we gave Klopp time to built his ultimate squad… it’s up to the fans not to put pressure on him
Shot himself in the foot by going to Villa but also having going there because of Christian Purslow. That idiot sacked Benitez for Hodgson. Gerrard must of had a hand in that sacking
De Zerbi or Xabi Alonso
Alonso is the perfect choice….he is like what Arteta did for Arsenal…young Spanish manager, modern football….its a no brainer. Stevie G, its too early for him to come in as LFC manager…he did well at Rangers but not so much at Villa…
I don't agree with Garcia because Liverpool is not any club. It is the most successful club in English history and with the greatest fans in the world. Jurgen Klopp is not any kind of manager. He is in the same breath of Bob Paisley and Bill Shankly in the eyes of LFC fans.
Yeah. It will be difficult to find a competent manager. It is so disappointing that Klopp's coaching team is also going. Pepijn Lijnders would be an excellent successor, just like Bob Paisley was after Bill Shankly left. Liverpool became the most successful because of people like Ronnie Moran, Roy Evans, Joe Fagan, Bill Shankly and Bob Paisley. Liverpool no longer has the Bootroom. Apart from Shankly, all the people above also played for the club. So Liverpool will not only need to find a competent manager, Liverpool will also have to find a competent backroom staff to help the manager. It will be hard. However, I do have a lot of confidence in FSG in finding the next best manager.
I agree give Stevei G the opportunity. His the man.
Xabi Alonso it has to be
No way Gerrard will manage LFC any time soon.
FSG will go for a coach that is similar to Klopp in style of play - most likely Xabi Alonso or Roberto De Zerbi
I think Luis Garcia has it the wrong way around. It’s almost inevitable for any manager coming into receive added pressure following Klopp, but Alonso is someone the fans will get behind 100% and back from beginning to end because he’s a former legend of the club. He will be given time and if there’s one fanbase that will award him that time and go thru growing pains it’s Liverpool. Not sure any of the other potential candidates would get that same level of support.
Also side note: don’t want Gerrard anywhere near the club as manager. Especially after his career suicide move to Saudi
Gerrard is not ready to take over from kloppo
I don’t agree with Luis Garcia here. I thought he used to talk sense but Liverpool are a club that doesn’t change managers often. Klopp was the 22nd manager in 130+ years of the club. Next opportunity might only arrive after 10 years for Xabi if he gives this a pass? Does he really want to wait that long and what if his stock drops? I don’t think Luis Garcia would pass up the opportunity if he had a chance so bad advice right there
More like mourning football today 😢
Roberto De Zerbi is the only manager who can replace Klopp's kind of football, which shifted from quick transitions to progressive possession futbol with Fabhino & Firminho at the helm & now to a mixture of both styles with MacLister at the pivot. Klopp was all about tempo & intensity & as an Arsenal fan, i feared them more than city. I have never seen a team whose base is transition become so adept at possession, especially when Van Dijk signed. (Real possession, not Unai Emery measured kind) De Zerbi has also shifted from heavy possession to an an interpid mixture of quick transition with possession fundamentals. Futhermore, De Zerbi, with his Italian pedagocal base, can improve players technically in the same way Klopp was able to marry the athletic and aesthetic. Not surprised to see Llana and Milner shift to Brighton. The only other manager i can see is Unai Emery. Xabi Alonso is not the guy because his brand of futbol has more of a La Liga sensibility and tempo.
The main issue with Klopp is that his futbol was perfect for the Anfield crowd, an almost perfect marriage and it will be difficult to find that tempo of futbol ever again. He's quite singular, an august manager who futbol i will miss.
He maybe a good coach but dont think the owners want him
one premier league title and one champions league in 9 years and hes a legend. i disagree lads. 1 league since man utd won their last league and united are batshit. liverpool fans who accept 1 league title in 30 years, or even it was 2 league titles, is less than the club deserves. Its gonna be years again feck sake
Zerbi is a real canditate in my mind also, Im sure he is on the owners hotlist.. SG is not I hope..
@gerardmccartanbelfast Stop trolling he's not won 2 trophy's has he
@@BelfastManUtdTherapy He's a legend absolutely, Paisley is a legend but he had an easier job compared to klopp. Liverpool was the team that big names wanted to join in the 80's, but was not very appealing until Klopp joined. The number of players who snubbed the club like David Silva would have made a big difference if they had worn the reds shirt. Klopp changed all that, the fact that VVD could have his picks of clubs but chose to play under his management is an example of his appeal and impact. He changed a team that was out of the PL in January to one that got over 90 points four times.
Kloppo is easily in my top 2 favourite people in the history of mankind.
Hard to describe the way I feel ATM.
But when one chapter finishes another begins.
Btw, Pep Lijnders is my pick to be LFC's next manager.
He's already trained in the way of the Klopp.
Mine too, my hero! Out of interest, who's the other human being in your top 2? 😊
Steven Gerrard is no where near the level of any current Premier League and Championship managers
Gerrard would destroy his legacy if he went to manage the club. He is not ready and probably never will be. I don’t even think the club would ever even consider him tbh.
Have xabi as manager and gerrard as assistant manager. 😂
Klopp is a ONE-OFF!- He is LIVERPOOL, if you bring all the Mangers in the PL without showing their faces- You WILL know which one is Klopp- HE WEARS LFC- ALL THE TIME!
We only want Xabi Alonso
Alonso seems best placed !!!!
Steven Gerrard......HaHaHaHa 😂😂😂
The art of the party is knowing when its time to leave.
Please leave Stevie with the Saudi league, not good enough, struggled at Villa
Jamie has got to step up! lol
Gerrard was my idol growing up and still my favourite player but he needs to be kept out of the conversation. The worst thing that could happen would him coming to Liverpool and having a shocker!
No Gerrard please. Liverpool will slip into obscurity again…
Now i can play with Liverpool in Footballmanager ... i never wanted to replace Jürgen there.
🛎🔚
De zerbi, Alonso, Unai Emry
It won't be Gerrard he doesn't have the technical detail as a coach and look at his record, Klopp had a winning record before he went to Liverpool, Gerrard won't meet the requirements of the owners, Xavi Alonso tell me how his record is
Steven Gerald could be persuaded to leave the Saudi league for this job. As a non fan, this scares me
Let’s call for the remainder of season the kop to “the Klopp”
Alonso needs some more expirience as a manager I believe. Only just over half a season as the main man doesnt qualify, even if Bayer Leverkusen leads the BL so far.
I feel like I’ve just lost a family member!
Loves Stevie G as a player but no way in hell for him to take over, we’ll just be repeating the 90’s-00’s all over again. I honestly think it will be Xabi Alonso. He down played it really well, yeh he’s a job to finish at Leverkusen for this season, but he will take the job. His current form is brilliant at present. He’ll be handed a good squad, good youth system in place, good scouting system, he knows the fans are at peak backing of the club & the team. The club will have CL for next season. I wouldn’t expect him to win anything to the first season just to find his feet. Klopp told us “ask me in four seasons if we win a league title”
he would make a great manager! YNWA
A great replacement for Klopp would be David Moyes. 😆
Xavi very well could be the new Mourhino/Pep.
Liverpool should always look for a highly offensive coach , this is now the Liverpool way
Stevie G is a legend of player. Not a top manager. Thats why he is the awful Saudi league. Alonso next LFC manager!
Alonso please!
Xabi alsono did not shut it down.
I think De Zerbi would be the best choice they play quite similar to Liverpool
Did he say Gerrard? 😮
There is only one Jürgen klopp, big shoes to step in.
He will give everything Till the end of the season to get out with min 1 title and a great season.
His way of working is max Intensity and a lot of love he is giving, its bester to get out than to burn out.
After Liverpool he needs time for hisself, for his wife and familly - there will be no other Club and never Bayern munich.
Next step for him will be a national Team Couch, and time - he is much more than a football Coach, he is a believer like Jesus- everything could be possible if you believe and Do everything for it - and if you miss - than Start again
Of Xabi is going to say he's happy at Bayern Leverkeusen.
I don’t Gerard any were nare Liverpool as a manager not a chance great player but no no no
8:59 WTF?? Gerrard's managerial skills are non-existent at top level, he was terrible at Villa and he still doesn't seem to have any playing identity in terms of the teams he manages. The pressure would destroy his (read his autobiography to get an insight into her personality etc). Gerrard would be a terrible appointment!!!
Alonso is the next one
Stop linking gerrard to the job. Hes not good enough for the job
klopp burnout factor
Let's elevate Pep and go on!!
All the coaches are leaving 😪
I want Xabi Alonso as Coach
I am for Thomas Tuchel although I am not his fan. Alonso needs some more years, same for Stevie G. Two great players but not ready enough to be manager of Liverpool. All of us should know.
tuchel would be great , there are a lot of available ones with gegenpress actually . husenhutll , nagelsman , hansi flick . but we will see who will they choose . for xabi alonso , it is a little bit too soon
Only Alonso
Elevate pep for 2 season. Evaluate xabi perfomance. If ok then hire xabi. Pep will stabilise current squad.
luis? i thought you were on espnfc lmao
Please please please don't be gerrard!
As a united fan i would like gerard to be manager lol
I think better he goes to Man U lol
Better fit for Utd, more suited to mid-table teams
De zerbi is going to Liverpool.. makes the most logical sense
It's xabi alonso.
Xabi Alonso makes the most logical sense
🤣🤣🤣
Gerrard? What a joke that would be.
Steven Gerard obviously has nothing to prove being a manager, then with all mybrespect Stevie is not the right person to replace Jurgen Klopp as Liverpool Manager. In my personal opinion, Xabi Alonso is the most suitabke one as Jurgen Klopp replacement. He has everything it takes to continue the success of the clup for yeara to come.
Stevie G are you FKM. Why does everyone assume they go out and get a manager. So this talk the last few weeks of how great an in game manager Klopp is. Is everyone suggesting his in game adjustments are solely due to him. I don't think so and I'm sure Klopp would be the first to admit Pep Ljinders plays a huge role and not because of Klopps humility. For me the biggest part of the Liverpool dynasty of the 70s through the 80s was continuity going from Shankly to Paisley to Fagen to Kenny. No coach knows THIS Liverpool better than Pep Ljinders. Klopp has done more than just win trophies, he has rebuilt the identify Liverpool lost in the 90s, why go outside the organization when you have someone there who was clearly groomed to take over from the master and helped him build it.
Hans flick, de zerbi or alonso
Liverpool just lost their energy by 50% .. will greatly affect the rest of their premier league performance ..
Luis Garcia is not a good football pundit in my opinion and I am a Liverpool fan. He rambles a lot....saying FSG made him leave was just stupid.
Anyone can replace Klop...but guess... without the results Klop achieved...😮
Yeah. 1 title in 9 years is a high bar.
@@randyschwaggins it's not something that happens overnight... Liverpool were a struggling team at the time..he had to make purchases for player's then he got the team he wanted after a while... it's not a easy...I think u can give results in the first year...fire all current players... it's a process...for contract end's...sell players etc...
@@randyschwaggins If you don't understand what Klopp achieved you don't know football.
Please make him come to Roma!!!!!!
You know you actually have a chance at that klopp isnt the type to go to Barca RealMadrid Juventus Inter PSG for me i hope he goes to someone like that Roma would actually be perfect
No chance, Klopp has respect for Sean cox family.
Roma is a lot more than the tugs that assaulted Sean Cox (I hope at least). That was disgraceful and inexcusable!!!@@TheFinishedArticle
Italian teams can't afford klopp(I'm a juventus fan)
Sadly. You are right @@Micfri300
you what! Garcia just lobbied for Gerrard.. nah this guy doesnt like Liverpool lol dafuq
Pep also did not have experience in managing before taking a Barcelona job
Yeah but pep had messi,xavi, iniesta..... The list goes on. Having those players helps.
@@Yalovetoseeit_agreed, that's why I'm so opposed to the Zidane Rumours aswell, yes he has honours as a manager but like Pep he pretty much inherited a perfect team.
I would say it'll be between Xabi or De Zerbi
MOURINHO
So bad to day.
OMG😱 Pep's broken Jurgen !
Not at all, but there's certainly a case for the owners of City causing his job at Liverpool to be unduly stressful, fighting a team built on years of FFP irregularities with a team working well within FFP guidelines has to take it's toll.
Alonso or I’ll take Rafa back
Ancelotti or Alonso to replace Klopp. If not those two then Mourinho as a short term option or maybe give De Zerbi a chance at the job. Keep Stevie G the manager miles away from Liverpool FC, he just isn't good enough at the moment.
Gerrard????😮
Is this dude off his head on weed?
OH GOD ....LUIS GARCIA ....I STILL REMEMBER YOUR GOAL FOR LIVERPOOL AGAINST JUVENTUS 😂😂😂💖💖OR THE WINNER AGAINST MOURINHO;S CHELSHIT 😂😂😂....YOU SAY YOU ARE GOING TO THE LIVERPOOL - CHELSEA FINAL ...GOOD ON YOU,MATE ....SEE IF THE ALLOW YOU TO PLAY FOR THE LAST 10 KINUTES TO GET ANOTHER WINNING GOAL 😂😂😂😂😂😂💖💖💖💖YNWA LUIS,MATE
Klopp should go to bayern and replace the 🤡 they have as a coach.
All backroom staff leaving also Shmadke
Seems that it's got nothing to do with loops lack of energy if the whole backroom is moving on too..
@@TrailBlazerUKit's quite normal when the manager leaves all his personnel leaves with him. It's not that deep. This was his last year before he signed an extension last season. It's something he probably couldn't see himself doing, on which he said. He's burnt out and wants a normal life.
@@avro9707 I mean yes. Are you new to this?
I want Alonso and Gerrard as assistant come back to Liverpool
Yes to Alonso but no to Gerrard. Leave sentiments aside. Alonso need to pick his own team.
@@MrJermson bro alonso will be the main manager and Gerrard as assistant he knows so much and will help Xabi in many ways I’m not saying making Gerrard as a manager but as a assistant so he can gain experience
@@KloppIntensityGerrard wouldn't accept being an assistant manager.
@@TrailBlazerUK everybody needs to learn even pep and mourinhio learned as an assistant so he should come
jose
Very hot take: Liverpool should go for Stefano Pioli, as he's among the very best in establishing a relationship with the players, the club and the fans. And, moreover, he's a coach who never sits down as he constantly tries to improve every single aspect of the game with a very meticulous approach. He's given a career and a name to Leao, Theo Hernandez, Bennacer, Tomori, Maignan, Thiaw, and he's revived players such as Giroud, RLC, Pulisic. Not to mention that he's the very first coach who imposed himself on Ibra with great results, as Zlatan speaks very well of Pioli. Then, he's worked fantastically with young players as he's given them a chance to prvoe themselves, failing very rarely. It's a shame that Milan fans (especially on Twitter) don't appreciate him and want him out: they have a world class manager and don't understand he's been doing a miracle with that team.
xavi hernandez
Stevie G takes the cake for me. Anfield legend!
Antonio Conte or Carlos Ancelotti......Whoever the next manager, he must have a really impressive CV.......
Nah can't see Liverpool going for any of them, just wouldn't make any sense.
Personally I can see it being between Alonso or De Zerbi
one premier league title and one champions league in 9 years and hes a legend. i disagree lads. 1 league since man utd won their last league and united are batshit. liverpool fans who accept 1 league title in 30 years, or even it was 2 league titles, is less than the club deserves. Its gonna be years again feck sake
No matter who comes after Klopp, it will be difficult. But there is no other person out there, knows the LFC way
