Tottenham Hotspur and their search for a new manager continues to take plenty of twists and turns, with a big-name now under discussion in N17 as chairman Daniel Levy plans for life without Ange Postecoglou.
Spurs are staring down the barrel of their worst domestic season in decades, and are just one game away from equalling their record number of league defeats in a single campaign since the Premier League's inception.
Liverpool host the Lilywhites at Anfield on Sunday, where Arne Slot's side could officially be crowned champions of England, so Postecoglou can expect them to throw the kitchen sink at his vulnerable Spurs team during a difficult afternoon on Merseyside.
Meanwhile, in the background, uncertainty continues to surround Postecoglou and his long-term future.
Tottenham's dismal domestic campaign could spell the end for him, even if they end up winning the Europa League and clinching their first major trophy since 2008 (The Telegraph).
Following 18 league defeats, with Postecoglou's men sitting a lowly 16th in the table, it is widely believed Levy and co are already doing their due-diligence on potential replacements for the former Celtic boss.
Andoni Iraola (Bournemouth), Marco Silva (Fulham), Oliver Glasner (Crystal Palace), Thomas Frank (Brentford) and Scott Parker (Burnley) are all managers on Tottenham's rumoured shortlist, while the likes of Inter Milan boss Simone Inzaghi and Borussia Dortmund's Niko Kovač have been linked from further abroad.
Spurs are admirers of Inzaghi (Fabrizio Romano) and some contact has also been held with Kovac (Bild), while it is believed that former boss Mauricio Pochettino would love a return to Tottenham, and he'd be Levy's personal first choice.
Tottenham hold internal talks over appointing Jürgen Klopp
More recently, a report from GiveMeSport has lifted the lid on Tottenham's wish to be more ambitious in their chase for Postecoglou's replacement.
As per their information, former Liverpool boss Jürgen Klopp, who guided them to their first Premier League title in decades during his tenure in charge, as well as a Champions League triumph, is now being considered.
The German is currently Red Bull's head of Global Soccer, earning around £192,000-per-week in his new role and contributing towards his £39 million net worth. Klopp will go down as one of the Premier League's greatest ever coaches, and now Spurs are thinking about tempting him back to England.
GMS report that Tottenham have held internal talks over appointing Klopp, alongside other prestigious names, with the board determined to be "bold" and go after a proven winner.
The jury is out on whether he'd even consider leaving Red Bull so soon, and for one of Liverpool's Premier League rivals, but there is little doubting he'd do an excellent job there based off his phenomenal CV working with fairly limited budgets.
"The reason why I give incredible credit with the five Premier Leagues we won is because we were battling with unbelievable football club like Liverpool," said Pep Guardiola on Klopp.
"Incredible manager and his staff and incredible players. I will never forget these battles, never ever in my life. It's an honour, for all my career everybody knows Klopp made me a better manager and Liverpool made me a better manager. There is no doubt about that."
