Klopp 2024 replacement

I see him as a successor to JK. Spurs missed the trick with him.

The German was announced as the Leipzig manager at the beginning of this current season. Now that we are halfway through the season, Nagelsmann has guided his team to second place in the Bundesliga table behind leaders Bayern Munich by one point, and ahead of Klopp’s former team Borussia Dortmund by three (per Transfermarkt). Now that this latest article on the manager has been published, this has given these Liverpool fans the opportunity to talk about the man who they see as a suitable replacement for Klopp.
If Klopp ever leaves us we should look at him.

The only name that should be on the list to replace Klopp, whenever that time is.

Will 100% be Klopp’s successor

The perfect successor to Klopp

What do we think?
Given that earlier in the season, Klopp signed a two-year contract extension, keeping him at the club until 2024, it would be unlikely to see anyone replace him in the near future. But it’s good that these Liverpool fans think Nagelsmann would be a good fit for their club after Klopp. This shows how confident and impressed they are with him.
