The iconic Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is likely to leave next summer, ending his nine-year reign at the club, but it appears that the board is already pretty clear about who will be in command at Anfield.
Liverpool returned to the top of the Premier League after defeating Brighton 2-1 at Anfield on Sunday afternoon. While it had to come from behind to get three points, it was a deserving winner by the end of the game.

Unofficial negotiations have begun between Liverpool and De Zerbi, who has piqued the English club’s attention, according to Fichajes. Richard Hughes, Liverpool’s new director of football, is behind these talks and supports the possibility of the Italian coach joining the Anfield bench.
Sunday’s meeting was not just a test for Liverpool, but also an opportunity for De Zerbi to demonstrate his worth as Klopp’s future successor. Although negotiations are being conducted with caution due to the Italian’s present contract with Brighton.
