There is certainly not too many managers who can claim a 3-0 victory over Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool on their CV.

In fact, the coaches who have delivered the Germany’s heaviest defeats in charge of the Premier League giants make up a select, and rather impressive, group.

Pep Guardiola, Ernesto Valverde, Roberto de Zerbi, Thomas Frank, Luciano Spalletti and, weirdly, one Nigel Pearson.

Gian Piero Gasperini joined that coaching contingent a fortnight ago.

And while Arne Slot now appears to be the frontrunner to replace the departing Klopp in the Anfield dugout, is the man who ended one-quarter of Liverpool’s quadruple dream worth considering too?

Giuseppe Rossi, the former Italy international who knows the Atalanta boss from his time in Serie A, certainly thinks so.

“Gian Piero Gasperini has been a very good manager for Atalanta for so many years,” Rossi, who started his career with Liverpool’s arch rivals Manchester United, tells DAZN.

But Gasperini – like Klopp at Dortmund and arguably at Liverpool too – is certainly one of those who can.

“I know how Gasparini works and I know his personality,” adds Rossi, the one-time Fiorentina striker confident that the 66-year-old will know where things went wrong the last time he patrolled the dugout of a bonafide European giant.

“He likes to impose things on players which every manager should,” explains Rossi.

He’s been doing amazingly at Atalanta so he could be a good fit for Liverpool.”

Closer to 70 than he is to 60, Gasperini is perhaps a little too long in the tooth for Liverpool to realistically consider, however.
