LIVERPOOL: Liverpool supporters are proposing a new name to replace Jurgen Klopp as manager this summer.
The search for a replacement for the German manager is being actively carried out after Klopp announced he would leave Anfield at the start of last year.
The club’s main target, Xabi Alonso, rejected their offer because he wanted to stay with Bayer Leverkusen, who won the Bundesliga title for the first time.
Liverpool have also been linked with Sporting Lisbon boss Ruben Amorim but the manager is furious at the speculation.
Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi is also on Liverpool’s radar, but fans say the club needs to look for another candidate to replace Klopp.
Now the name of Aston Villa manager Unai Emery has become a name after his success in bringing the Midlands club to fourth place in the English Premier League.
When they took over Villa, the club were 14th and struggling for relegation.
Now Emery has managed to take them to the quarter-finals of the Europa League and is getting closer to qualifying for the European Champions League next season after beating his former club, Arsenal 2-0.
Emery has won the Europa League three times with Sevilla and once with Villarreal. He also won the French Cup and league treble with Paris Saint-Germain and reached the Europa League final with Arsenal.
