Liverpool rule Premier League manager out of running to replace Jurgen Klopp
Liverpool are reportedly not considering Gary O’Neil as a contender to replace Jurgen Klopp at the end of the season. O’Neil has impressed with Wolves this campaign, guiding the Midlands outfit to what is likely to be a comfortable mid-table finish.

Surprisingly, it seems that Ruben Amorim will not replace Klopp. The Portuguese coach has been linked with a switch from Sporting CP to West Ham.
Former Liverpool midfielder Xabi Alonso has already ruled himself out of taking the position, or the role at Bayern Munich which will become vacant when Thomas Tuchel steps aside at the end of this term. Alonso will continue at Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen for at least another season.
Fellow reported candidate Julian Nagelsmann has signed a new deal to remain as the national team head coach of Germany. Liverpool are therefore running out of possible managers who may be readily available over the summer.

Liverpool are replacing Jurgen Klopp who is standing down at the end of the season (Image: Getty)Despite that, The Athletic report that Wolves boss O’Neil is not being considered. The former midfielder was considered to have an outside chance of succeeding Klopp after winning admirers in his first season with the Black Country club.
O'Neil was appointed in the days before Wolves started their 2023-24 campaign with a 1-0 defeat against Manchester United on August 14. They were widely tipped as candidates for relegation after a chaotic summer in which Julen Lopetegui resigned a week before the trip to Old Trafford.
But former the Bournemouth boss O'Neil has exceeded expectations by lifting them into 11th in the Premier League, sitting on an extremely healthy 43 points. The highly-rated 40-year-old has won praise for his team's style of play in the process.

Roberto De Zerbi and Ange Postecoglou have both been linked but would likely require a substantial compensation package to lure them from Brighton and Tottenham, respectively. De Zerbi is also known to have interest from Bayern.
Foreign-based candidates include Feyenoord's Arne Slot and Bologna's Thiago Motta. Both coaches have impressed the top European clubs over the past few seasons.
