Liverpool are now considering who should replace Jurgen Klopp - and Simon Jordan believes he knows the perfect candidate.
The Reds are in the process of searching for a new head coach following Klopp's shock decision to walk away from the club at the end of the current season.

In the eight and a half years since the German boss was appointed, Liverpool have enjoyed plenty of success by winning the Premier League, the Champions League, the FA Cup, League Cup and the Club World Cup.
Not only that, but he's turned the Reds into one of the most entertaining, high-energy sides in the Premier League.
Life after Klopp will undoubtedly mean a new era for Liverpool, but speaking to Jim White, Jordan says that the club may not have to look too far to find someone who can get the best out of Klopp's carefully-assembled squad.
Speaking on White And Jordan, Jordan said: "If I were involved with Liverpool I think he (Ange Postecoglou) would be under consideration because he provides a lot of the things that Jurgen Klopp has been successful in providing – that includes galvanising the fanbase, the style of play.
“He’s got the personality, the charisma, the relatability, the style of player, he’s a winner – okay, it’s in the Scottish league but he’s won and Klopp won with Borussia Dortmund in Germany, so I think there’s a lot of similarities.
“I think Spurs will have no truck with it and nor should they, but there’s absolutely a room and a space and a consideration for Ange Postecoglo.
“Yes, Spurs is a working side and they’ve got lots of things to do and it’s very early days for him in the Premier League, but everyone looks at Ange Postecoglou and thinks ‘yeah, okay’ because the vision arrives now and people can see it.
“We thought Postecoglou was a good fit for Spurs. The style of play that he’s playing, the culture that he exudes and he’s got charisma – it’s a slightly lower level of charisma than Jurgen Klopp.”

He went on: “This team is undeniably Klopp’s team. It reflects his personality and the question that needs to be asked is whether someone else can pick up that personality and maintain it or enhance it.
“Klopp is so enigmatic, so charismatic, so passionate, so motivated, so enthusiastic and so energised – all of those characteristics sit in this team.

“You’re not going to get a replica of that. Klopp is unique in his own way.”
