Should Liverpool decide to replace Klopp with another German manager, Bayern Munich boss Julian Nagelsmann could be one of the finest alternative options. The tactician needs no introduction; he's been one of the top coaches in the Bundesliga for the last couple of years.

The 34-year-old was snapped up by Bayern Munich at the end of the last campaign, following his brilliant work with Hoffeinheim and RB Leipzig.

Nagelsmann wasted no time in making his impact felt at the Allianz Arena, leading the Bavarians to the German Super Cup just a few weeks after his appointment. He's enjoying a brilliant outing this season, with his team currently leading the Bundesliga table and in the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League.


#2 Hansi Flick

Another German manager who would be a decent option to replace Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool is Hansi Flick. The current Germany manager has built an incredible reputation for himself. The 57-year-old made history, as he led Bayern Munich to a historic sextuple in the 2019-20 campaign.

It's worth mentioning that he has done a wonderful job with Germany so far, winning eight straight games. Under his tutelage, Germany became the first nation to qualify for the 2022 FIFA World Cup, sealing top place in their qualifying group in October last year.

The tactician's contract with the national team runs out in 2024, the same year as Klopp's. It would be quite interesting if he gets a shot to manage the Reds in the next move of his coaching career.


#1 Steven Gerrard

Steven Gerrard's status as a Liverpool legend remains unshaken. The Englishman is undoubtedly one of the greatest players to ply his trade at Anfield. He represented the Reds between 1998 and 2015, making 710 appearances, contributing 186 goals and 150 assists.

The 41-year-old took to management in 2017, starting as a youth coach at Anfield. He got his first first-team role at Rangers in the summer of 2018, before leaving for Aston Villa in Novemner last year.

Gerrard appears to be getting the best out of his team in recent weeks, inspiring the Villans to three victoris in their last four games. He is definitely one of the top options to take over from Klopp at Liverpool in the near future.
