“He’s going to be leaving.” Favourite Liverpool supporter departing the team with Jurgen Klopp
Share
Both on and off the pitch, Liverpool will undergo a lot of changes this summer.
The Liverpool supporters were shocked when Jurgen Klopp declared his intention to quit the team at the end of the season.
The 56-year-old manager made the decision to leave the Merseyside club, citing that he is “running out of energy.”
Liverpool will lose yet another significant player.
Assistant manager Pep Lijnders is another important Reds player who is departing the team, in addition to manager Klopp.
Football writer Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that the 41-year-old is definitely leaving Anfield, providing an update on the connections between Lijnders and Ajax.
According to Romano, who spoke to GiveMeSport, “Liverpool assistant Pep Lijnders has emerged as one of the candidates to be the new Ajax manager for next season.”
“Lijnders is being considered by the club, although a decision has not yet been made. He will undoubtedly depart Liverpool with Jurgen Klopp; he won’t be sticking around once this season ends.
The club holds Klopp’s number two in high regard for his efforts, and the German manager recognises Pep’s input.
Romano has denied reports in the media that the assistant manager is well-liked by the players and that they would like to see him succeed Klopp.
An experienced manager is needed at Liverpool.
The Dutch manager may need some time to get experience at another club before accepting the position at the Premier League team, thus it’s possible that the Anfield job is too early for him.
For the time being, Lijnders appears to be a wonderful fit for Ajax, one of the biggest clubs in the Netherlands that is in need of renovation.
John van t Schip, the interim manager who was hired in October, has the Dutch squad in a transitional phase as they trail leaders PSV by 31 points at the moment.
More news……
Liverpool fans can rejoice because a vital player will be back in the starting lineup next week.
The good news for Liverpool is that Ibrahima Konate is expected to start for France against Chile on Tuesday night.
L’Equipe claims that the centre back, who has been sidelined due to injury for the past few weeks, is prepared to play in the friendly.
The defender was substituted out during Liverpool’s Europa League first-leg match against Sparta Praha. Since then, he has missed a number of important games for the Reds, including their FA Cup loss to Man United last week.
Prior to their match against Brighton at Anfield on Sunday, Liverpool supporters will be eager to see him return in the starting lineup, but the French player must win against Chile first.
How significant is Ibrahima Konate to Liverpool?
Given that the match against Chile is merely a friendly, Liverpool supporters will be hopeful that Konate survives. The centre back, who has played in 32 games for the Merseyside team this season, is an important member of Liverpool’s team.
It is no coincidence that the Reds have only triumphed in one of the three games in which the 24-year-old defender has missed due to injury. Klopp prefers the 24-year-old to combine with Virgil van Dijk.
With a few difficult games remaining and the desire to cap off his tenure at Anfield as best he can, the German coach will need everyone healthy for the last stretch.
