Klopp tipped to replace Slot on an interim basis Reif wrote: ‘Liverpool isn’t just in a mess. It’s practically burned to the ground! ‘The timing of this statement (Klopp on Diary of a CEO) is terrible for Slot. He’s hovering over Anfield like a UFO. All of Liverpool would carry him back on their shoulders. And it would be negligent if they didn’t try to bring Klopp back. ‘In Liverpool, the scar from his departure is far from healed. I don’t know what it’s like being Global Head of Soccer and whether you ever start to wonder, ‘Is this really me?’ ‘He was exhausted after that time. It took its toll. Now he looks very rested. Almost as if Arne Slot has to watch out…’ Bayern Munich’s honorary president Uli Hoeness recently claimed Klopp will soon return to management and does not see him staying i his role as Head of Global Soccer for Red Bull in the long term. “I could never imagine him as an official travelling around the country, to New York, looking after the various teams,” he said via BILD. “And I don’t think that will be a good model in the long run. I also don’t think he’ll do that forever, I can’t imagine it. “I have always admired Jurgen Klopp as a coach who is on the pitch, who develops a team, who moves a team forward with his personality. I see Jurgen Klopp on the pitch and nowhere else.” The UCL winner Liverpool want as Slot successor; three other names linked With Klopp seemingly only seen as a temporary solution at Liverpool, The Sun claims that FSG have ambitiously set their sights on appointing PSG coach Luis Enrique as the long-term successor. Ironically, Slot has tried to mirror Enrique’s playing style at Anfield, having been wowed by the French giants and their manager as they defeated Liverpool in the Champions League last season on their way to winning the competition. That swashbuckling style of football dazzled Slot and was thought to be hugely influential as he set about his own summer transfer business, recruiting not just a new-look frontline, but in adding a pair of attack-minded full-backs to his mix. Ultimately, though, that gamble has backfired, and Slot now presides over an almost intolerable situation that sees his position at Anfield hanging by a thread. Elsewhere, another report claims FSG have drawn up a three-man shortlist of potential successors , two of whom are currently impressing in the Premier League and another who has been making waves in Germany.
