While things seem to be getting rather complicated on Merseyside after Jürgen Klopp made it known that he will only be at Anfield until the summer. So it is the worst news of the year, despite this the work continues and decisions must be made quickly, in order to get the best replacement for the position left by the German coach, who returned to glory to the Reds.

The main names to replace him are the Spaniard Xabi Alonso, who had an unforgettable spell as a player at Anfield and is now having a great season as a coach with Bayern Leverkusen, so the Spaniard would be the first and undoubtedly the best option to replace Klopp. If the Spaniard cannot be brought in, a very good option could be to give the opportunity to Jürgen Klopp's assistant coach, Pep Lijnders, who could undoubtedly continue with the same style of play at the Reds and would be a great bet for the future.

Roberto De Zerbi is undoubtedly one of the best managers in the Premier League, as the Italian has led Brighton to be a leading team in the Premier League, so he would be another strong candidate to replace Klopp. Another who has also had a great performance in the Premier League has been the Spanish Unai Emery, who is doing an excellent job in the Premier League.

Steven Gerrard could be another option to take the Anfield dugout, despite not having had much success in his adventure in Arabia and at Aston Villa, the idea seems to please the fans. Other names that sound, however to a lesser extent, as they would be the last options, being coaches who have not yet made a name for themselves as coaches, such is the case of the Spanish Michel, who has not had a brilliant career in the dugout, the Danish Thomas Frank, who currently manages Brentford, being coaches who have not had much success.

Two of the best options because of their success in all the teams they have managed

At the moment it would be impossible to think about the arrival of Argentine coach Diego Simeone, who is the highest paid coach in the world and does not seem to want to leave Atletico Madrid where he is already a legend, despite this he would be one of the best options to replace Klopp. While Spaniard Luis Enrique, who is the PSG coach, finishes his contract in 2025 and could be a great option for the Reds, being a very successful coach especially during his time at Barcelona.
