Former Liverpool midfielder turned television pundit Danny Murphy has urged the Merseyside club to not consider Thomas Tuchel as a potential replacement for Jurgen Klopp. Murphy has claimed that Tuchel is too divisive a figure to become Klopp’s successor at Anfield.
Murphy has also claimed that it is quite natural for Bayern Munich to part ways with the former Chelsea manager at the end of the season. The former England international believes that Tuchel was lucky to secure the Bundesliga title last season, thanks to Borussia Dortmund faltering on the final day of the season.
“No. He doesn’t fit them, He’s too divisive. He’s not a Liverpool manager. Not for me. It’s not a surprise to me. Let’s be honest, Bayern Munich should have lost the title to Borussia Dortmund last season – they ended up winning it on the final day. So things haven’t been great there for a while.”
A manager merry-go-round seems to be on the cards this summer, with several managers set to step down from their respective positions at the end of the season. While Klopp is set to leave Liverpool, Bayern Munich and Barcelona are also parting ways with Thomas Tuchel and Xavi Hernandez respectively.
Plenty of names have been linked with the soon-to-be vacant Liverpool hot seat, and it is Bayer Leverkusen manager Xabi Alonso who is leading the race. However, Bayern Munich are also reportedly considering appointing the Spaniard as Tuchel’s replacement.
