‘It’s a bit crazy’: BBC pundit reckons 36-year-old manager would be really good for Liverpool

7 months ago 115

Liverpool are on the hunt for a new manager.

Jurgen Klopp announced in January that this season would be his last at Anfield, and finding a successor to the German is no easy task.

The Reds have a number of options to consider heading into the summer, and speaking on the BBC Radio Five Live Football Daily Podcast, Nigel Reo-Coker has put his backing behind one interesting manager.

Nigel Reo-Coker gives his view on the Liverpool job

The pundit spoke about who he would hire for Liverpool, and he mentioned Julian Nagelsmann as a gaffer he thinks would be a good fit.

“I would say though, I would say that Nagelsmann would be a good fit. It’s a bit crazy. Look at him leaving Bayern Munich and he’s not being blamed for their run of form and what’s going on there, most people in Germany are blaming the board and the club and the backroom people,” Reo-Coker said,

Julian Nagelsmann is exciting

Reo-Coker may not be too far wrong here.

As a fellow German, Nagelsmann is very much from that same school of footballing thought as Jurgen Klopp.

He’s a very transition-heavy coach who loves to press and counter-attack, and he could well pick up where Klopp has left off.

Personality-wise, Nagelsmann would be an interesting fit to say the least.

Much like Jurgen Klopp, Nagelsmann is quite enigmatic, but in an entirely different way.

Whereas Klopp seems very down to earth, Nagelsmann can often be accused of living up in the clouds, often arriving to training on either a skateboard or a Harley Davidson motorbike, and his personality has landed him on the front pages of German newspapers on more than one occasion.

Nagelsmann would certainly be an intriguing choice by Liverpool, and with his Germany contract up in the summer, he will soon be available.
