Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has revealed who he thinks should Jurgen Klopp at Anfield next season.
On Friday, Klopp left the footballing world in shock by announcing his decision to leave the Reds at the end of the current season.
A number of coaches will be linked with the role in the coming months, but Carragher feels current Bayer Leverkusen coach and former Reds star Xabi Alonso should be considered for the role.

"Klopp never had to learn how to connect with the Kop. It was like he was born to be the Liverpool manager. That's one of the reasons why Xabi Alonso is already being considered the natural heir," Carragher wrote in his column for the Telegraph.
"From day one, it was like Xabi was born to be a Liverpool player. As he is my former team-mate, it is no surprise that so many are clamouring for him to be appointed. I would love Xabi to get the chance.
"He ticks all the boxes as a former Liverpool player who knows the club and city, is adored by the fans and has already shown in the Bundesliga that he is one of the most exciting young coaches in the world.
"His wealth of experience playing under the greatest coaches of his generation – Rafa Benitez, Jose Mourinho, Carlo Ancelotti and Pep Guardiola – mean it is only a matter of time before one of the elite clubs appoint him. You can never choose the right time for such an opportunity. It may be now."
