As the news breaks, 🚨 There is a strange piece of news coming from Fabrizio Romano this morning, which is that the manager has been highlighted as a prospective replacement for Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool.

As stated in an article that was published in The Times by Paul Joyce, Hughes had previously made an effort to recruit De Zerbi to serve as the manager of Bournemouth following Scott Parker’s departure in the year 2022.

As a result of the delay in the team’s ownership shift, Brighton & Hove Albion were able to capture De Zerbi’s services instead of the other club.

During the summer, it is anticipated that De Zerbi will be one of the contenders that will be considered to succeed Klopp.

Although Hughes will be responsible for making the selection, he will not have an excessive amount of control over the decisions that the new manager makes.

Michael Edwards will provide assistance for Hughes in this endeavor.

Despite the fact that the possible appointment of De Zerbi would have been a big coup for Bournemouth, there are still questions over whether or not his playing style and level of ability are compatible with Liverpool’s particular requirements.

During the team’s search for a new manager, the contacts that Hughes has will provide the club with excellent opportunities.

An individual who is capable of introducing their own distinctive approach and stamping their own style of football on the club will be required to be the successor to Jurgen Klopp, which will be a difficult assignment to accomplish.

On the other hand, provided that Hughes makes use of his connections, Liverpool might have a substantial pool of applicants from whom to select for this extremely important decision.
