Inside Arne Slot's Tottenham manager U-turn as Liverpool make Jurgen Klopp replacement plan
A familiar name to Tottenham fans may well be in the Liverpool dugout come the start of the 2024/25 Premier League campaign. Following January's shock news that Jurgen Klopp will depart as Liverpool manager at the end of the current season, the Reds are on the lookout to find his long-term replacement.

Quizzed in press conferences about the speculation and the fact that he supported Liverpool growing up, the Australian quickly dismissed all the talk of a move north.
