Liverpool are reportedly preparing the ground for a move to bring in Galatasaray Manager Frank Rijkaard to replace under fire Anfield boss Roy Hodgson. The club’s new owners
are ready to give the current Liverpool boss until January to turn
things around but will then look to bring in the former Barcelona boss
ahead of the re-opening of the transfer window.
The 48 year old former Ajax and AC Milan playing legend has not had the best of times in
Turkey and after taking his side to a disappointing third placed finish
last term has seen his Istanbul outfit slump to an even worse start
this time around.
The signs are that the Dutchman is ready to leave Galatasaray and would jump at a high profile job and a move to Liverpool would be a
useful way to reignite a managerial career that already has some
notable achievements. During his five year reign at the Nou Camp he led
the Catalan giants to two La Liga titles and the 2006 Champions League
title.
The attack minded manager would be a marked contrast to the more defensive pragmatic approach employed by Roy Hodgson who has
presided over a truly woeful start to the Premier League campaign which
leaves Liverpool second from bottom in the Premier League table.
It seems that the new owner John W.Henry is willing to take the financial
hit that would come from the termination of Hodgson’s contract which is
believed would set the club back £3m.
