Pundit says Liverpool should hire 54-year-old manager who’s been sacked twice in the PL

Liverpool are on the lookout for a new manager, and every single gaffer under the sun is being discussed as a potential candidate.

The likes of Hansi Flick, Xabi Alonso and Roberto De Zerbi have all been discussed over the past few days.

However, now, speaking to , Carlo Cudicini has named another manager who could potentially be an option for Liverpool.

Cudicini named Antonio Conte as a potential option, claiming that he’s been very successful over the years.

Conte tipped for Liverpool

Cudicini spoke about the former Tottenham manager.

“Who replaced Jurgen Klopp, who is your option for this Carlo? Are there any Italians I should be aware of,” Cudicini was asked.

“Well, Antonio Conte is available, I believe, so why not? Without a doubt he’s very successful, he’s proven that. I think one season shouldn’t define the ability of a manager, but what Xabi Alonso has been doing at Leverkusen has been amazing,” Cudicini said.

No chance

Conte has been a successful manager over the years, but we really can’t see this one happening.

Liverpool need to replace Klopp with a manager who is cut from the same cloth, and it’s fair to say that the German and the Italian are chalk and cheese in terms of styles.

Klopp, as we all know, is an ultra-attacking manager, while Conte is one of the most pragmatic coaches we’ve seen in England for a long time.

This would be a baffling appointment, and after being sacked by both Chelsea and Tottenham, we can’t see Conte getting another top job in England.
