New contender emerges to succeed Liverpool boss Klopp with ‘same line of thought’ A new man has emerged as a contender, a “natural replacement” to replace Jurgen Klopp when he calls it a day at Liverpool. Klopp is under contract at Anfield until 2024 and there has been no suggestions of an extension to that deal. If the German sees out his Liverpool deal he will have been in the Reds’ hot-seat for nine years. And after stabilising the club initially he has gone on to lift the Champions League, Club World Cup, UEFA Super Cup and Premier League titles. The two domestic cup titles have so far eluded Klopp, but it’s unlikely he will be too bothered. The contract extension that Klopp signed at Liverpool in December 2019 did include an unusual exit clause. There is no escape from the deal, but instead an agreement that Liverpool will help Klopp complete a safe and comfortable journey back to Germany. An agreement that the club will look after his repatriation to Germany. Recently rumours have surfaced that Klopp will seek to leave early and take the Germany job at the end of 2022, following the World Cup. Bild have claimed he would relish the chance to lead Germany at Euro 2024. However, he recently put talk to bed that he was looking for an exit route because of Liverpool’s poor form “Did I get the sack or did I leave by myself? I don’t need a break,” said Klopp. “Privately, we had a tough time, that was a much longer time already and we always deal with it as a family 100 per cent.” The Mirror claims “candidates are already being sounded out” to replace Klopp when he does walk away. The most likely candidates to replace Klopp are currently Steven Gerrard, Julian Nagelsmann and Klopp’s assistant Pep Lijnders.
