Liverpool are reportedly considering Luciano Spalletti, the manager of Napoli, to replace Jurgen Klopp, who is under mounting pressure following a disastrous run of form and may quit Anfield in the next weeks and months, according to Italian publication CMW.
The Reds have only won three of their last 10 games in the league and cup combined since returning from the World Cup. They are currently in last position in the Premier League and have been eliminated from both the Carabao Cup and the FA Cup.
On Monday night, they’ll go to Anfield to face their Merseyside rivals, Everton. The next games against Merseyside rivals Everton, Manchester United, and Real Madrid are all very important.
Klopp must now deal with the consequences. Despite rumours that he would quit or be fired, he is under contract with Liverpool until 2026. According to CMW, the Reds are mulling about hiring Italian manager Spalletti, currently in charge of hot-shooting Napoli.
Spalletti, at age 63, has emerged as a leading figure in his role as manager of Napoli. Even though he led Napoli to a respectable third place finish last season, he has elevated the club to a new level this year. They have a massive 16-point lead over second-place Inter Milan in the Serie A standings.
A stunning 19 victories out of 22 in the league. As for the Champions League, Napoli has made it to the round of 16. With Eintracht Frankfurt as their opponent, they lucked out. Across all competitions, he has played precisely 1000 games.
Spalletti has won the Russian Premier League twice and the Serie A manager of the year award twice, although he has never won the Serie A championship. His contract with Napoli keeps him there until the summer. However, Liverpool might make a move this summer.
