#4) Jurgen Klopp
Club: Liverpool
League Position: 7th

Jurgen Klopp is the biggest name on the list of possible candidates involved in the sacking race.

The former Borussia Dortmund manager is struggling to get going across all competitions for the first time since the club reached the UEFA Champions League finals in 2018.

The team and the manager have not lived up to the hype apart from the game against AFC Bournemouth. The Reds have just nine points from six games (W-2, D-3, L-1).

Even their outing against Napoli in Naples was underwhelming. They lost 4-1 and never seemed convincing during the game.

Jurgen Klopp’s side lacks a quality midfielder that the club failed to sign in the summer. The German will face Ajax, Chelsea, Rangers, Brighton, and Arsenal in the next few games and need to turn their fortune around to save his seat at Anfield.
