Barcelona are reportedly considering
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp as a
potential replacement for current
manager Luis Enrique.
The Blaugrana coach has come in for
severe criticism following the team’s 4-0
loss to Paris Saint-Germain in midweek,
and with his contract up in the summer,
speculation is rife over a possible exit.
According to John Richardson of the
Sunday Mirror, Klopp is on the club’s
shortlist of replacements.
“Klopp has his admirers within the
Camp Nou, especially for his work at
Borussia Dortmund,” the piece
continued. “The German is a huge fan
of Barcelona’s football and took his
Liverpool players to watch Barca’s
Champions League game against
Borussia Monchengladbach in
December.”
According to Richardson, Klopp is on an
“extensive list” of candidates, which
also includes Everton manager Ronald
Koeman, who is a legendary figure in
Catalonia having excelled as a player
with the club.
“Koeman is the favoured option if
Barcelona go down the route of
recruiting a former playing hero to
become their coach,” it’s noted.
Klopp joined Liverpool in October 2015
and has been a big hit at Anfield.
