Jamie Carragher names shock manager he’d have ‘thoroughly considered’ for Liverpool job ahead of Arne Slot

Jamie Carragher expressed that he would have carefully considered another coach over Arne Slot for Liverpool’s managerial position.

While Slot is in talks to succeed Jurgen Klopp, Carragher hinted that he would have preferred someone like Thomas Tuchel, who has a track record of success, including defeating Pep Guardiola in a Champions League final.

Carragher highlighted Tuchel’s previous successes at Mainz and Borussia Dortmund, suggesting that despite setbacks at Bayern Munich, top coaches like Tuchel can bounce back.

Carragher emphasized his preference for a “proven winner” and expressed concern about Arne Slot’s readiness for the challenges ahead, particularly facing Pep Guardiola in the Premier League and Champions League.

He indicated that if another English club were to secure Thomas Tuchel, it would signal significant improvement, but he questioned whether Liverpool is seeking a coach with a reputation for being difficult to manage.

Carragher stressed the importance of appointing a manager who is determined to win, rather than just compete.
