According to Jamie Carragher, Liverpool ought to have “considered” acquiring Thomas Tuchel prior to acquiring Arne Slot.
Once conditions for a transfer are agreed upon, it is widely anticipated that the Feyenoord manager will be named as Jurgen Klopp’s replacement at Anfield.
Slot has openly expressed his wish to join Liverpool, and it’s also believed that agreements have been reached to bring head of performance Ruben Peeters and first-team coach Sipke Hulshoff along.

The 45-year-old has been supported by Klopp as a “good coach” and a “good guy,” and the Dutchman gained recognition for his fast-paced, attacking style of play.
Nevertheless, there’s no denying that the Premier League is a significant improvement over the Eredivisie.
After leading Ajax to victory, Erik ten Hag has found it difficult to capitalize on his impressive debut season at Manchester United, and Frank De Boer’s tenure at Crystal Palace was cut short after four League titles with the Amsterdam giants.
That does not imply that Slot will necessarily suffer, though Carragher thinks the Reds are taking a chance, especially with Tuchel at the ready.
Carragher stated in the Daily Telegraph, “I would have given more thorough consideration to a coach like Thomas Tuchel, who took on and beat Pep Guardiola in the ultimate test – a Champions League final.”
“Tuchel followed Klopp at Mainz and Borussia Dortmund and did well. It has not worked out at Bayern Munich this season, but you only have to look at Carlo Ancelotti and Unai Emery to recognise how top coaches recover from setbacks.”
The German, who has followed Klopp into jobs and both Mainz and Borussia Dortmund, will soon be a free agent.
