Former Manchester United striker, Dimitar Berbatov, has urged Liverpool to appoint ex-Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel if they fail to land Xabi Alonso as Jurgen Klopp’s replacement at Anfield.
Klopp will leave Liverpool at the end of the season.
Liverpool are currently in search of Klopp’s replacement and the likes of Tuchel, who will leave Bayern Munich at the end of the season and Alonso, who is currently managing Bayer Leverkusen, are linked with the Reds job.
Speaking to Betfair, Berbatov said:
“I think Liverpool should continue to chase Alonso.
“If they can’t get him, then, there are other coaches on the market like Thomas Tuchel.
“Tuchel would be the next contender for me to replace Klopp if they miss out on Alonso.”
