165 Pundit Chris Sutton has now been having his say who he believes could be capable of replacing Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool this summer.
There’s no doubt that the next Liverpool manager will have a massive job replicating the success and aurora of Klopp.
The German will obviously take a massive part in the club’s history books, a manager who is up there with the greatest ever.
It seems that both Xabi Alonso and Roberto De Zerbi are the outstanding candidates for now, however one more name has been mentioned.
Although only six months into his career at Tottenham Hotspur, Ange Postecoglou has been linked with the job.
And when speaking on BBC’s 5 Live, Sutton was convinced that Postecoglou could handle the pressure of the job.
Sutton thought the Spurs manager had the necessary character and clout to replace Klopp at Liverpool, something that can’t be said for many.
Of course, it really would be a sensational turn of events to see a manager leave a top five side for another, but perhaps it isn’t impossible.

Reacting to a Spurs fan surprisingly sharing similar sentiments, Sutton said: “In terms of somebody who could go in and handle the club, and somebody who could possibly step into Klopp’s shoes.
“He could never be a Klopp, Ange Postecoglou, no one could ever be a Klopp.
“But [he’s] somebody who in my view would have the clout to do it.”
And it’s certainly an interesting one to consider, perhaps Postecoglou would be an excellent appointment.
However, some Liverpool fans may consider that a move for either De Zerbi or Alonso could represent bigger ambition – two of the top young managers in the game.
Of course, that’ll certainly be fine with Tottenham fans, who won’t want to see their manager heading anywhere.
Whilst Sutton may believe that Postecoglou can fill Klopp’s shoes at Liverpool, he’d definitely be a difficult manager to prize away from North London.
That being said, it seems Liverpool could already be lining up one new signing for their next manager.
