Jurgen Klopp has delivered the bombshell news that he will be leaving Liverpool at the end of the season.
The German manager has revolutionised the Reds’ fortunes since his arrival in October 2015 and his impending exit leaves Anfield bigwigs with a big decision to make.
A whole host of big names are likely to be linked with the job, but Paddy’s trusty traders are on hand to show you where the money is going right now.
The latest Next Liverpool Manager Odds can be found on the Paddy Power website and Paddy Power app, otherwise details of the principal runners and riders are below.
Arne Slot
The Feyenoord boss tops the betting at the time of writing after impressing in Rotterdam since his appointment in 2021. A Europa Conference League runner-up in 2021-22, Dutch league title winner in 2022-23 and Dutch Cup winner this season, Slot has a proven track record of delivering results, and it appears the bigwigs at Anfield have taken notice.
Ruben Amorim
The Portuguese manager has built a strong squad of young players at Sporting Lisbon and, as a result, has attracted interest from several of Europe’s top clubs.
He was under consideration for the Tottenham job before they appointed Ange Postecoglou and has been touted as a future manager of Manchester United.
Roberto De Zerbi
Roberto De Zerbi has impressed since taking over from Graham Potter at Brighton and they secured European football in his first campaign. It’s also fair to say his high-octane style of play would resonate with the Kop faithful. Could the Reds make a move for the Italian after his success on the south coast?
Pep Lijnders
He’s stood beside Klopp throughout his reign at Anfield but could Lijnders handle the pressure and step up to succeed him as manager of Liverpool?
The Dutchman is loved by fans and has the advantage of having already worked with the group, but it would be his first managerial job so perhaps he needs more experience before taking on such a huge role.
Julian Nagelsmann
Why not replace one trendy German manager with another? Call for the next cab off the rank, ex-Bayern Munich boss Julian Nagelsmann. The 35-year-old impressed at Bayern and he could be tempted by the Premier League but he’s currently in charge of his country’s national side.
Xabi Alonso
Stranger things have happened, folks. Despite committing his future at Bayer Leverkusen, could Xabi Alonso perform a u-turn and still head back to Merseyside?
