A surprising candidate for Klopp’s replacement has emerged – Football World – England

Ever since Jurgen Klopp announced he was leaving Liverpool, there has been speculation about who the new manager will be. Xabi Alonso was initially claimed to be the favorite for the job. However, the former Merseyside midfielder has said he will stay at Bayer Leverkusen for at least one more season.

Then there was information about Ruben Amorim, the current manager of Sporting Lisbon, who became the favorite to replace Klopp. Especially since it became clear that he will leave Sporting at the end of the season. But yesterday there were reports that West Ham United are trying to attract the Portuguese specialist and his arrival at “Anfield” is unlikely.

Exclusive information from a source close to Liverpool reveals that current Wolverhampton manager Gary O’Neill has been interviewed for the job. O’Neill has been in charge of Wolves since August 2023, having previously managed Bournemouth.

Although he has been interviewed for the job, that doesn’t mean O’Neill is certain to replace Jurgen Klopp. Liverpool’s management are looking at various options and O’Neill is clearly one of the names on the list.
