142 Liverpool’s search for a new manager to replace Jurgen Klopp is going to be the dominant story on Merseyside for the foreseeable future.
Klopp’s revelation that he is to leave his role as Liverpool manager at the end of the season has sent shockwaves through the Anfield club.
However, with FSG aware it was coming, work is underway already when it comes to identifying the ideal replacement for Klopp.
One of the names to get a mention in the last 24 hours is current Germany manager, Julian Nagelsmann
The former Bayern Munich boss was linked with a move to Tottenham in the summer but that never materialised and now Nagelsmann could be approached by Liverpool.
And according to a report from Sky Germany, Liverpool could have an open goal when it comes to landing the German.
Nagelsmann can sign for Liverpool for free
According to the report, Nagelsmann is a free hit for Liverpool when it gets to the summer.
It’s claimed that while he is currently under contract with the German national team, that contract is set to end after Euro 2024.
At that point, Nagelsmann will be free to go where he wants, meaning Liverpool can get one of the top coaches in Europe for free.
That is in contrast to some of the other names who have been mentioned.
Sporting Lisbon’s Ruben Amorim would cost around £17m, while Bayer Leverkusen are likely to demand a big fee to let Xabi Alonso move back to Anfield.
Likewise, Roberto De Zerbi is under contract at Brighton and won’t be allowed to go for nothing.
Nagelsmann, then, could well be the ideal option for the Reds and FSG.
Lauded as a ‘phenomenal‘ manager by journalist Ben Jacobs, Nagelsmann ticks a lot of boxes for Liverpool.
And if he’s available on a free, then that makes the move all the more enticing.
