Report: Jurgen Klopp prefers Pep Lijnders to Rangers’ Steven Gerrard as his replacement at Liverpool

According to Sunday World, Liverpool assistant manager Pep Lijnders is manager Jurgen Klopp’s choice to replace him at Anfield when the time is right.

While former skipper and Rangers manager Steven Gerrard is the ‘romantic choice’ to take over from the German, it appears that the Reds boss has other ideas.

Gerrard surely wants to manage Liverpool one day, but he might have to wait a little while longer from the look of things.

The 43-year-old has three years left on his current deal at Ibrox, and Klopp’s contract also expires at the same time.
