The England manager is set to leave after the euros and with Klopp exiting Liverpool, one former player has urged the club to bring in Southgate 😱 Do you believe SOUTHGATE 🇬🇪can do a good job in Liverpool 🤔⁉️…
In the aftermath of Jurgen Klopp’s departure from Liverpool, former Reds defender Glen Johnson has proposed an intriguing replacement: Gareth Southgate, the current manager of the England national team.
With Klopp bidding farewell after nearly a decade in charge, Liverpool finds itself at a crossroads, uncertain about its next managerial direction. Initially linked with Xabi Alonso, who is impressing at Bayer Leverkusen, recent rumors suggest his leaning towards Bayern Munich.
In this climate of change, Johnson has boldly suggested Southgate as a viable option for Liverpool’s managerial vacancy. Despite the delicacy of discussing England’s manager potentially departing before a major tournament, Johnson believes Liverpool should explore the possibility if Southgate becomes available in the summer.
Highlighting Southgate’s accomplishments with the England squad, including reaching the Euro final and a World Cup semi-final in his eight-year tenure, Johnson underscores Southgate’s potential fit at Liverpool. He points to Southgate’s experience with elite players and his proven track record as reasons for considering him.
However, Johnson also addresses concerns about Southgate’s potential move to Liverpool’s arch-rivals Manchester United, cautioning that success at Old Trafford isn’t guaranteed, as evidenced by other esteemed managers who have struggled there.
