Liverpool fans across the world seem to be convinced that the former Borussia Dortmund coach, Jurgen Klopp, is the right man to lead the Merseyside club for the remaining games of the 2015/2016 season.

But the big question is if he is appointed as the new liverpool coach, won't he need time to settle in the premier league. Why not Carlo Ancelotti a man who have been there and done it with Chelsea?

Klopp is a highly rated coach having led Borussia Dortmund to two consecutive Bundesliga titles and Uefa champions league final in 2013, on the other hand Ancelotti is a veteran coach that has won league titles in three different countries (Italy, England and France).

Ancelotti hold a joint record with Bob Paisley to win the prestigious Uefa Champions League three times

Rumours have emerged that if Klopp took over at Anfield he will demand full control in the transfer market.

Both Ancelotti and Klopp have been unemployed since last season after leaving Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund respectively.
