Nevertheless, talk has persisted that Lijnders - who had a brief spell in charge of Dutch side NEC Nijmegen in 2018 before returning to his role at Anfield - could be convinced to stay if Liverpool decide that he's the right fit(

Lijnders' appointment would harken back to that golden age and although the Dutchman is wary of how difficult of a challenge the Anfield hierarchy face in replacing Klopp, he believes that Boot Room culture can be repurposed for the modern day.
