Manchester United icon Dwight Yorke has sparked intrigue with a bold claim regarding the fate of Liverpool’s esteemed coach, Jurgen Klopp.
The Red half of Merseyside are eagerly anticipating the potential realisation of Yorke’s prediction concerning their revered leader.
Earlier this year, the German tactician announced his imminent departure from the helm of the Premier League powerhouse, signaling the conclusion of an illustrious era at Anfield.
Asked if he thinks this is the finale on beIN Sports, Yorke said, as quoted by the Daily Star:
“In my opinion, no.
“I want to make a bold statement but I’m not going to do it on national TV.”
After being pushed to reveal more, the former striker said: “I think he will return to Liverpool, maybe in a year or so, two years.
“I just have a sneaky feeling that’s what he’ll do. I’m not going to go as far as saying inside info.
“I feel like when you look at the kind of quality of managers out there, there aren’t too many quality managers.”
The 56-year-old announced his departure on January 26, expressing that he lacked the energy to fully commit to the job.
In light of the present circumstances, he remarked that he couldn’t envision himself taking on a managerial position again. However, he subsequently offered clarification.
“So I think some other people used that word [retirement] when I had my announcement and I thought that’s the right way to say it,” he explained.
“I just step aside here, so that’s the idea. I don’t know what is happening after.”
Liverpool fans, who deeply admire their manager, are eager for Yorke’s claim to be validated. The ex-Borussia Dortmund coach has revolutionised the club comprehensively during his tenure.
Upon inheriting a struggling Liverpool squad, devoid of direction, Klopp has propelled them into a powerhouse within global football.
Under Klopp’s guidance, Liverpool have clinched every major trophy, ascending to the summits of both the Premier League and European competitions.
Furthermore, Klopp’s dynamic brand of attacking football at Anfield, particularly with the formidable trio of Salah, Mane, and Firmino, has captivated spectators and adversaries alike.
Various candidates have been linked with succeeding Klopp at Liverpool, with former midfield maestro and current Bayer Leverkusen manager Xabi Alonso emerging as the frontrunner.
Alonso is poised to secure the Bundesliga title with Leverkusen, poised to disrupt Bayern Munich’s hegemony in Germany.
