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.

Thomas Tuchel, a German mentor eager to change Chelsea’s fortunes

Earlier this week, Chelsea unveilled Thomas Tuchel as their new manager following the sacking of Frank Lampard, the Club’s legend and all-time top goal-scorer. 18-months. That is the time Frank Lampard lasted at Chelsea as a Manager. However, this is a familiar sight to those who have followed Chelsea during Roman Abramovich’s time as the Club’s owner — a Russian billionaire unsatisfied by nothing else but instant results. Following an impressive first season with the club despite the FIFA transfer ban, the second season was expected to be even better — more especially with the club backing him in the transfer market. A great start to a season, ruined by a bad spell for Lampard has brought Tuchel to Stamford Bridge. Tuchel, who led Paris St Germain to a treble last season and a Uefa Champions League final, will reunite with Thiago Silva and Christian Pulisic whom he coached at PSG and Borussia Dortmund respectively. Perhaps, the biggest reason behind Tuchel’s appointment is to...

Someone, please tell me what is Bryan Ha...

Kai Havertz struggles on Chelsea debut

         Kai Havertz on the ball on his Chelsea debut  Chelsea's new signing, Kai Havertz, had a shaky start on his debut during a 3-1 win over Brighton on Monday night. Haverts, who was bought from Bayer Leverkusen for a club-record fee [£71 million], touched the ball on 35 occasions and had 0 shot on target. Speaking after the match, the 21-year-old Germany international -- subbed on the the 80th minute and replaced by Callum Hudson-Odoi -- admitted the Premier League might be tougher than the Bundesliga. "The Premier League is much tougher than the Bundesliga. I have seen that in training and saw it in the game as well. But I am happy to play 80 minutes and hopefully next week I will continue," he said. While Havertz had a sluggish debut for the London club, his countryman, Timo Werner, caused all sort of problems for Brighton defence with his electric pace. Chelsea's first goal came through a penalty which was slotted by Jorginho after he was fou...
