Who that candidate might be remains a mystery for now. There is likely no shortage of options given the magnitude of the club, even if Liverpool does not hold the financial might of other big clubs, making the potential job a lot harder, and there is uncertainly over the owner 足球直播 ship of the club at the current moment.
While some have written him off completely due to his very recent previous affiliation with Manchester United, and of course his unsuccessful tenure there as manager, Squires makes interesting points about Rangnick. Firstly, he has never been a manager and therefore shouldn’t really been judged on his time at Old Trafford, and second, that he has a very strong relationship with his protégé, Klopp, who also holds the Austrian in high regard.
In this sense, Liverpool is not the most lucrative proposal for anyone looking to find a new job. But there are people who are surely open to the challenge and would relish working for such a big club alongside a manager of Klopp’s ilk.

All in all, it’s a move that might make a lot of sense. Rangnick has never been a man for the touchline; he’s always thrived in the boardroom and Liverpool could offer him a chance to return back to that. But first, FSG would have to convince Rangnick to give up his role as the head coach of the Austrian national team. How willing he might be to do that is unknown, but Rangnick is a move that should be explored.
A philosopher of the Rangnick school in Germany, back in 2021, when he was linked with the job for Manchester United, Klopp facetiously proclaimed in his press conference t 英超 hat Rangnick’s arrival was ‘not good news for other teams [in the Premier League]’, as per Sky Sports News.
Not to mention, Rangnick is not just an intelligent mind when it comes to his gegenpressing style of play but also for talent identification to spot players who are capable of playing in that system.
