Danny Murphy names two possible Jurgen Klopp replacements and makes Liverpool top-four claim

Danny Murphy believes either Steven Gerrard or Xabi Alonso could manage Liverpool in the future.

The former Reds pair, who are both plying their trade in management currently, have been tipped for successful careers after hanging up their boots. And much like Frank Lampard at Chelsea and Mikel Arteta at Arsenal - to varying degrees of success - both have been tipped for a romantic return to the Anfield dugout.

Gerrard retired in 2016 and spent some time within Liverpool's youth setup before moving on to his first managerial stint at Rangers in 2018, where he led the Scottish giants to an unbeaten 2020/2021 campaign and a first Scottish Premier League title in 10 years. His return to the Premier League with Aston Villa has been much tougher, with the 42-year-old under increasing pressure in the Midlands for not getting the best out of a highly-talented and expensive side - they are 16th with two wins from nine games.
