141 Philippe Coutinho has delivered his verdict on Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp and reported Reds managerial target Hansi Flick.
Klopp announced last month that he will be stepping down as Liverpool‘s manager at the end of the season. A number of names have been linked with the job at Anfield already, including Flick, who Coutinho thinks is a ‘great coach’.
Philippe Coutinho says Liverpool-linked Hansi Flick is a ‘great’ manager
Liverpool fans were absolutely delighted on Sunday – not just because their side beat Chelsea and won the Carabao Cup but also because Jurgen Klopp will not be leaving the club empty-handed.
The German is an absolute legend at Anfield. He truly transformed the club, but he will now leave a massive void to fill in the red half of Merseyside.
Xabi Alonso is almost everyone’s favourite to get the job, while Roberto de Zerbi has also been linked. SportBILD claimed not too long ago that Hansi Flick is on Liverpool’s shortlist too.
The 59-year-old, who has been out of work since losing his job as Germany’s manager, is available for Liverpool or any other club. Philippe Coutinho has now hailed him as well as Klopp.
The Brazilian told Sport: “They (Klopp and Flick) are two great coaches. I have trained with both of them and the truth is that I had a very good relationship with them and their teams have always played very well.
“I would say any of these options are very good for any team in the world.”
Every manager feels like a risky option for Liverpool
It’s so hard to name the best option for Liverpool to appoint as Jurgen Klopp’s successor.
Xabi Alonso is the name on everyone’s mind, but a detailed analysis claimed that he’s actually not a great option for the Reds – there are four managers who are better suited than he is.
Hansi Flick may not be in anyone’s thoughts right now, but he is one of just two managers in the history of Bayern Munich to win the treble. That is a positive, but his experience as Germany’s boss was a disaster, which makes him a risky option.
There are pros and cons with every manager, and nobody out there is quite as good as Klopp – not yet at least. That makes it feel like every option is a risky one.
