Liverpool assistant supervisor Pep Lijnders says it’s inconceivable to exchange Jurgen Klopp and that the membership should discover somebody who can develop their very own dynasty. Klopp’s shock resolution to step down on the finish of the season means homeowners Fenway Sports Group should discover a successor for a supervisor who has gained each membership honour, bar the Europa League, throughout his time at Anfield. The German has the possibility so as to add to his tally in Sunday’s League Cup last in opposition to Chelsea — one in all 4 trophies the membership may win this season. But Lijnders, who with the remainder of Klopp’s backroom workers can also be leaving, mentioned there was no level in looking for somebody who could be a clone of the 56-year-old, with former Liverpool midfielder and present Bayer Leverkusen boss Xabi Alonso the main candidate.

“No one can replace Jurgen Klopp. But I think the past showed already a few difficult transitions,” the Dutchman mentioned on Friday on the membership’s pre-match press convention.

“What was the most difficult transition inside this club was (Bill) Shankly saying ‘That’s me’. (Bob) Paisley stepped up (in 1974) and was completely different from Shanks.

“It reveals, as a membership, we’ve got to seek for somebody who needs to develop, who has the mindset to develop.”

There was a concern that Klopp’s announcement in January could derail a team that leads the Premier League, faces Southampton in the FA Cup next week and is favourite for the Europa League, having been drawn against Sparta Prague in the last 16.

However, they have five wins in six games since then and Lijnders said that was down to the mentality within the dressing room.

“A whole lot of these boys did not win something with Liverpool but so after all they provide every little thing regardless of the supervisor saying he’s leaving,” he added.

“We are steady sufficient to cope with it. That’s what I believed earlier than — however you by no means know. It is at the back of your thoughts however I, we, belief the squad sufficient that they will cope with that.

“We never make it more complicated than it is and I like that. It is the next game, that’s our final — and it is a final so let’s give everything on this planet to win this one and give joy and emotion to the fans.”
