Feyenoord manager Arne Slot has confirmed he will be succeeding Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool next season – but it could have been a very different profile of manager preparing for life in the Anfield dugout next season. In a press conference on Friday, Slot told reporters: “I can confirm that I will become the trainer there next year.” Of course, Slot’s appointment at Anfield has not been officially confirmed by the Reds yet but it is now only a matter of time before the Dutchman’s era begins. However, it could have been an altogether different appointment this summer according to…
Liverpool had gone soft. There’s no way of dressing it up either. Over the past couple of seasons, a club famed for their data-driven approach had been shaped by sentiment. And it is no doubt why they keep finding themselves in unenviable situations. In the summer of 2021, Gini Wijnaldum left on a free. Whether you rated him or not, at that stage of his career in that market, he was easily worth £40million had he been under contract. Of course, this is subjective, but this was a 30-year-old midfielder with over 200 appearances for Liverpool. He had won everything…
Jurgen Klopp has admitted that ‘super-humble’ Joel Matip will have to make a decision about whether he continues his playing career after leaving Liverpool. The centre-back will depart Anfield at the end of his contract. Matip has spent the past eight years at the Reds, making a total of 201 appearances and scoring 11 goals. He’s been at the nucleus of the seven major trophies won during Klopp’s reign, having started the Champions League final victory over Tottenham in 2019. Matip has been sidelined for the past five months after rupturing his ACL in a 4-3 win over Fulham. The…
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is taking no prisoners as he prepares to leave Anfield after nine memorable years at the helm, even taking a potshot at Arsenal. Having won it all along the way, the German has not just come good on his promise of winning the league but also heralded an era that will be looked back with fondness. Klopp knows a thing or two about building winning teams. Liverpool for large parts of his reign were practically untouchable, breaking several records on the way. It will please fans that this success was built not by throwing cash at…
For Jurgen Klopp, the long goodbye will be colourful, loud and, in trademark fashion for both Liverpool and the man himself, grippingly emotional. There won’t be a dry eye inside Anfield on Sunday when Wolves are hosted and regardless of how an unlikely title chase eventually petered out during April, Sunday’s game is sure to be an I-Was-There sort of occasion as the scarves are whirred, the anthems are sung and the tears are unable to be held back. That is what is expected when the greatest manager of the 21st century at Anfield walks away. Klopp says he doesn’t…
We have reached the final match of the 2023-24 Premier League season. As such, it will also be the final match of the Jurgen Klopp era at Liverpool. Sunday is bound to be an emotional rollercoaster that hopefully is capped by a strong Reds performance against Wolves. Some players have returned from injury and are in contention to play. However, not everyone will be able to partake unfortunately. Let’s see how the Reds could lineup for the final time under Jurgen Klopp. Goalkeeper: Alisson Becker Defenders: Trent Alexander-Arnold, Jarrell Quansah, Virgil van Dijk, Andy Robertson Midfielders: Harvey Elliott, Wataru Endo,…
Former Brighton & Hove Albion defender Mark Lawrenson has predicted the result of Liverpool’s final game under Jurgen Klopp. The Reds take on Wolverhampton Wanderers at home in their final league game of the season on Sunday (May 19). The Jurgen Klopp era at Anfield is drawing to a close after nine eventful seasons that yielded all available titles except the UEFA Europa League, where the Reds fell in the quarterfinals to Atalanta this season.In fact, the Reds were on course for an unprecedented quadruple in Klopp’s final season in charge but got knocked out in the FA Cup quarterfinals…
Liverpool are now reportedly facing competition from Tottenham Hotspur to bring Brondby centre forward Yuito Suzuki in this summer. The 22-year-old has been capped by the Japanese U23s and arrived at the Danish club last summer. However, in that time he has been showing signs of the potential he could reach in the future. In 30 appearances, Suzuki has 11 goals and nine assists to his name and according to Bold.dk, Spurs were the latest team to send scouts to watch him in midweek. It is understood the Reds were in attendance for some of his matches in April while…
Jurgen Klopp has hinted that Thiago Alcantara could make a return to Liverpool’s squad for the final game of the season. The Reds have confirmed that the midfielder will depart Anfield at the end of the campaign, having spent the past four years at the club. Signing from Bayern Munich for a fee of £27 million in September 2020, Thiago’s time on Merseyside has been plagued by injury. The 33-year-old underwent hip surgery in April 2023 but has had issues since. This season, Thiago has managed just one appearance – which was a five-minute substitute cameo in a 3-1 loss…
This weekend will see Jurgen Klopp manage a Liverpool team for the final time. Nine years ago when he walked through the doors at Anfield for the first time, it’s doubtful that anyone would’ve expected just how much of an imprint the German would leave over the following few seasons. After a relative barren period in terms of the big trophies, Klopp really put Liverpool back on the map. Champions League, Premier League, League Cup, FA Cup… he won them all, and captured the hearts of Liverpool fans everywhere. His connection to the club and the city was clear almost…
