Who could possibly replace Roy Hodgson at Liverpool: The Options
With time nearly up for the beleaguered Liverpool boss Roy Hodgson, Bettor.com has decided to have a look at the possible replacements for the former Fulham manager. We have come up with a list of managers we believe are either suitable for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 or
have been linked with the club’s managerial position of late.
Here are the possible options that Liverpool owners are likely to consider.
1. Frank Rijkaard – Jobless
The Dutchman’s philosophy of playing attacking football will go down well with the Liverpool fans, who have been deprived of such exciting football for over a decade. Rijkaard is out of work at the moment after being sacked by Galatasaray earlier in the
season.
However, he impressed during his five year tenure at Barcelona. He won Spanish La Liga and the UEFA Champions league with the Catalans and was the man who introduced the likes of Iniesta, Valdes and Messi to first team football. It was during his tenure
that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ronaldinho-c31733 played the best football of his career.
2. Didier Deschamps – Marseille
He impressed Liverpool bosses when he was interviewed in the summer. He has recently emerged as the front runner for the job. However, he reportedly turned down Liverpool after long discussions and has recently reinstated his desire to stay in France.
Nonetheless, it is believed that a summer move for the former Chelsea player is the more likely option. He is a highly respected coach in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 and although he hasn’t managed a big club, his reputation might just be enough to fill Liverpool fans with optimism.
3. Kenny Dalglish – Ambassador for Liverpool
He is fan favourite and if it was up to the fans, he would have been in charge by now. He has not managed a club for over 15 years and that might be the stumbling block in his appointment.
Liverpool fans have been chanting his name in recent games and his appointment is sure to lift everyone at the club. However, it looks likely that if given the job, it will be for temporary basis and only until the end of the season, when new Liverpool owners
can reassess the situation and make a long term appointment.
4. Martin O’Neill – Jobless
He left Aston Villa in a dramatic fashion at the start of the season. He was reportedly not happy with the lack of support from Villa owners, who refused to back him in the transfer market.
O’Neill can prove to be success story as he has shown at Celtic and Villa that he can get the best out of what is available to him. However, the pressure of managing a club of Liverpool’s stature is immense and he has not experienced anything like that.
If appointed, Liverpool owners will back him in the transfer market and he could well be the key to sign long term target http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ashley-Young-c6813 – the player whom O’Neill bough while at Villa Park.
5. Rafael Benitez – Jobless
This one will be a real shocker. He has been linked with a return to the club after parting ways with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan. Many have pin pointed Rafa as the reason behind clubs decline this season.
He would be an unlikely and unpopular choice for both owners and fans alike. However, it would be a sensational return if he is given the nod.
6. Guus Hiddink – http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Turkey-c3026 National Team
If he becomes available then Liverpool should look no further than this man. The Dutchman has proved at all levels that he can win trophies and achieve more than what is expected. He has premier league experience to his name and managed http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 for four
months after Luiz Felipe Scolari was sacked.
It is highly unlikely that he will be willing to swap the money-laden deal to coach in a sunny country with a job where he will have to take a club out of a complete mess.
