5 possible replacements for Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool

Jardim knows how to set up his side to defeat England’s best.

# Thomas Tuchel

Borussia Moenchengladbach v Borussia Dortmund - Bundesliga

Tuchel suffered the same fate as Klopp at BVB.

When Jurgen Klopp was fired as Borussia Dortmund head coach, it was Thomas Tuchel who stepped into his boots. So if the German was to suffer a similar fate an Anfield, could the former BVB boss once again be the man to fill the void?

Tuchel suffered the same fate as Klopp at BVB, jettisoned after just a couple of seasons in charge. His crime was finishing third in the Bundesliga. Not only did Dortmund fail to maintain a challenge on Bayern Munich, finishing 18 points behind the eventual champions, they also failed to beat RB Leipzig into second. Even winning the DFB Pokal was not enough to save the 44-year-old, who has been out of work since.

Indeed, Tuchel’s career path has been extremely similar to Klopp, as they have both overseen Mainz and Dortmund on their way to the top.

He employs the kind of buccaneering football that Liverpool fans love to watch, with a fast, offensive style and plenty of goals.

Unlike Klopp, however, who arrived at Anfield with a Bundesliga title and a Champions League final appearance under his belt, Tuchel has little title-winning success. Indeed, that DFB Pokal win last season represents the only trophy he has ever won.

He may be out of contract, but he may be seen as too easy an option for Liverpool fans, who would prefer someone with a track record of winning.
