This is not just a coincidence, right?
Just an hour after Steven Gerrard signed a new contract at Rangers in December 2019, his Liverpool girlfriend announced a new contract for manager Jurgen Klopp.
Gerrard prefers to replace Klopp at Liverpool
In addition, both contracts expire in the same year: 2024.
Every talkSPORT says that makes it very convenient for Gerrard to replace Klopp in five years, doesn’t it? You would hardly think that was the whole plan.
Gerrard’s contract was due to expire in 2022, as was Klopp’s, and they have both expanded for the same period on the same day.
And talkSPORT alone didn’t notice.
In addition, Boris Johnson received an additional five years in office at the same time. Could he be in the fold too?
That might be a bit of a stretch, but there’s nothing unlikely about Gerrard returning to Anfield as Klopp’s replacement.
Although, will that plan now be accelerated by two years?
A series of bad results in Liverpool have shattered the numbers on Klopp, which seems disappointing as he did not end the club ‘s long thirst for the club’ s title last summer.
But nothing should surprise us in football and Klopp is currently the favorite among Premier League leaders (2/3) for losing his job next – above Jose Mourinho and Roy Hodgson at Tottenham and Crystal Palace respectively.
Liverpool won again on Saturday afternoon, going down 3-1 at Leicester to suffer their third loss after the Premier League for the first time since November 2014.
Last season’s tournaments for the first time since 1990, Klopp admitted they will not retain their crown.
“I don’t think we can close the gap [at the top], ”He said. “We’re not worried about the title, we’re not stupid. ”

If he leaves his post earlier than planned, the legend of the Gerrard club has been hailed as his favorite to take over.
At Rangers, he has broken Celtic control in Scotland as they enter the tenth highest title and the Gers have remained unbeaten in the league this season, conceding just eight times in the process. .
Gerrard’s former player Glen Johnson expects him to return to Anfield one day.
“I expect him to return to Liverpool one day, but you have no idea when. The day will come when Klopp decides he can’t take the club any further when he wins everything and maybe the door opens, ”he told Betting Expert.
“Management responsibilities are about time. If the right job opens at the end of the season it may take a look.
“It has stopped Celtic getting their tenth win in a row and Rangers have won the league like it did three or four years ago, so what more can it do? It can only go down from here. If there is a big enough offer in the summer I think it would definitely be of interest. ”
