By all accounts Arne Slot is headed to Liverpool FC, but football pundit Jamie Carragher thinks that Bayern Munich’s Thomas Tuchel would have been a better option.
“Liverpool are always going to be data-driven. The one manager who is out there who is like a proper… when you go ‘ugh’, and is available is Tuchel, and I just don’t think Liverpool would go for those types of managers with the set-up they have got behind the scenes.,” the former Reds star said on the latest edition of the Stick to Football podcast (as captured by Sports View). “Right now Liverpool are probably in the best top five or six teams in Europe, and they have been for a few years, and that’s why I go back to Tuchel and I just think he’s beat Pep. I just think of a guy standing on the sideline and you are a Liverpool supporter and you are looking and thinking he can go up against him. Well if he gets to the final, he would have been in three of the last six Champions League finals.
“I know it hasn’t gone perfectly at Bayern Munich for him but the job he did at Chelsea, trying to take on Klopp and Pep’s Man City. My hope with the people at Liverpool is that don’t ever forget how big the connection has got to be with Liverpool support, that thing of like ‘he is our man, he can go up, he can fight against Pep, he can fight against whoever the Man United manager is,’ and we haven’t just got a coach there who basically is a yes man behind the scenes.”
