Jurgen Klopp ready to make return as pressure mounts on Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers

Jurgen Klopp is reported to be interested in a Premier League job

JURGEN KLOPP has revealed he is interested in taking a job in the Premier League if the right club comes along, according to reports.

 

Sky Sports claim the German is ready to cut short the sabbatical he took after leaving Borussia Dortmund last summer.

The news will come as a boost to Liverpool fans, who are desperate for him to take the job at Anfield.

 

While Brendan Rodgers is still currently at the helm, some supporters have made their stance clear and are demanding his removal.

Liverpool's poor start to the season has culminated in a backlash against him and bookmakers are backing the Northern Irishman to be the next Premier League manager to lose his job.

 

Such is the support behind Klopp, some fans are even planning to dress up as the 48-year-old at this weekend's clash with Aston Villa.

The club have also been linked with Carlo Ancelotti, but denied making an approach for the former Chelsea man.

Other candidates for the job should it become vacant include Garry Monk, Frank De Boer and Ronald Koeman.

 

Rodgers refused to speak to the media after last night's Capital One Cup victory over Carlisle so could not be questioned on his own future.

However, that has not stopped fans making their voices heard after witnessing a stuttering display against the League Two outfit.

While they eventually came through as winners, they needed penalties to see off the north east minnows and boos rang out around Anfield throughout the night.

Instead, it was left to Gary McAllister to address the press and he insists the boss is happy despite the recent pressure.

“Like everybody, we’re delighted to be through to the next round,” he said.

“It’s a good night in the fact we are through to the next round. We want to perform better. 

 

"It will get better. We are working away hard at it in training and we will persevere.

“We’ve shown a bit of character. Delighted for Adam Bogdan to make the saves to get us through. 

"Maybe this is just one of these things which can pull us together as we look forward to the weekend.”
