Klopp wants former assistants Zeljko Buvac and Peter Krawietz as
coaches…………
Bosnian Buvac, 54, and German Krawietz, 43, were key members of
Klopp's backroom team during his time at Dortmund. Former Barcelona boss Guardiola
was appointed as Bayern Munich boss ahead of the 2013-2014 season and was
subject to a biography which covered his first season in the Bundesliga; In the
book called ‘Pep Confidential’, author Marti Perarnau reveals just how much
admiration Guardiola had for Klopp’s Dortmund team,,.
Depsite winning 3-0 at the home of Dortmund in November 2013, the
former Barcelona boss reveals his admiration for how Klopp’s side play.
Guardiola told Perarnau: “They’re like a steamroller, unstoppable.
There are other teams who counter-attack brilliantly, like Madrid for example,
but Dortmund are unique………
Jurgen Klopp is expected to travel to Merseyside on Thursday
afternoon ahead of his imminent appointment as Liverpool manager.
Klopp, who led Borussia Dortmand to 02 German league titles in
his seven years at the club, has spoken personally to the club's American
owners, Fenway Sports Group, and those talks have now reached an advanced
stage.
Liverpool’s non-international players returned to training
yesterday as the club continue their pursuit of Jurgen Klopp to become the new
manager.
After Brendan Rodgers’s sacking on Sunday assistant boss Sean
O’Driscoll, first team coach Gary McAllister and development coach Pep Lijnders
have been tasked with taking care of sessions at Melwood in the interim.
They all attended yesterday to put the small group not selected
for their national teams through their paces.
However, the futures of O’Driscoll, a former England Under-19
manager, and ex-Reds midfielder McAllister at the club look to be short-lived.
The pair were brought in this summer as part of a backroom
reshuffle which saw Rodgers’s close friend Colin Pascoe and another former player
Mike Marsh jettisoned after a robust end-of-season review.
With Rodgers now gone and Klopp being lined up
as a replacement the German is certain to want to bring with him Zeljko Buvac
and Peter Krawietz – his trusted assistants who worked with him at Borussia
Dortmund.
