Jurgen Klopp has delivered his verdict on a manager Liverpool are interested in appointing as his successor this summer.

The Reds were dealt a big blow on Friday after Xabi Alonso confirmed that he will not be moving to Anfield.

Klopp has now had his say on that manager, and the German has admitted that he could never coach like he does.

Liverpool have a huge task on their hands as they look to find Jurgen Klopp‘s successor.

Quite a few names have been linked with the Liverpool job, but one Premier League manager is said to be among the favourites to replace Klopp.

That man is Roberto De Zerbi, who has been doing a great job at Brighton and Hove Albion since he replaced Graham Potter there in September 2022.

Liverpool are seriously considering him now, and Klopp has now claimed that the Italian plays a style of football that he could never replicate – because it goes against his personality.

Speaking in his press conference ahead of the game against Brighton, Klopp said: “The way they play, it’s a really different way – I couldn’t coach that, it goes against my personality, but it’s a good watch.

“It’s very demanding for the players, it’s clear positioning, hold your position, keep your positioning, pass in the right position, pass in the right moment.

But now [the] good news, we can do that as well, so we will try.”

Jurgen Klopp is one of the best managers in the world.

That’s probably why he ranks so highly on Liverpool’s list, and the game on Sunday will give him another opportunity to show the Reds’ bosses that he is good enough to replace Klopp this summer.
