Liverpool have made a disastrous start to the season, putting Arne Slot under a lot of pressure while linking Jurgen Klopp with a return.
There have been rumours that Arne Slot could be shown the door in the coming weeks if the results do not improve quickly, with widespread reports linking Liverpool with Jurgen Klopp. It remains to be seen whether he can turn things around.
Liverpool spent heavily during the summer transfer window, and they were expected to defend their Premier League crown. However, the Reds have lost nine of their last 12 matches in all competitions, and they are effectively out of the title race. Slot’s men are struggling in the UEFA Champions League as well, and they have already crashed out of the EFL Cup.
It has been a disastrous season for them so far, and it is no surprise that Liverpool are being linked with other managers. Jurgen Klopp is reportedly a target as well, and it remains to be seen whether the German tactician is prepared to return to steady the ship.
Former Liverpool and Manchester City midfielder Dietmar Hamann has now suggested that Liverpool might have already spoken to Jurgen Klopp regarding a potential return. It remains to be seen how the situation develops.
“I assume they have spoken with Klopp. Many are already longing for his return,” he said on BILD via Sport Witness.
Klopp would be a superb appointment
Jurgen Klopp is undoubtedly one of the best managers in Liverpool history, and he helped them bounce back after decades of obscurity in the Premier League. He might be able to steady the ship once again for the short term and help Liverpool climb back up to the top. It will be interesting to see how the situation unfolds.
Klopp has previously indicated that he is done with management at the club level, and convincing him to return will not be easy. However, the 58-year-old has great fondness towards the English club, and it would not be a surprise if he decided to consider a return for a short period.
Liverpool players will need to improve as well if they want to get the season back on track. Most of them have been out of form, and the new signings are struggling as well. Perhaps a managerial change could be exactly what they need right now.
