Liverpool is currently considering Niko Kovac as a surprising candidate for their managerial position. Kovac, who previously managed Bayern Munich and Monaco, became available after his departure from Wolfsburg earlier this season.
Although formal negotiations have not yet begun, Liverpool is actively conducting thorough research to gather information and data on their preferred candidates as they prepare to replace Jurgen Klopp in the summer.
Ruben Amorim of Sporting Lisbon is a top contender, however, he has refuted rumors claiming that he has engaged in discussions or reached any agreements with Liverpool.
Kovac’s representatives recently visited London and are believed to have approached Premier League clubs in anticipation of potential managerial changes in the upcoming summer.
Born in Berlin, Germany, the 52-year-old Kovac previously served as the captain of Croatia during his playing days as a stylish defensive midfielder.
Transitioning into management, he achieved success by winning the German Cup with Eintracht Frankfurt in 2018, followed by securing the league and cup double as the head coach of Bayern Munich a year later. Additionally, he managed Monaco from 2020 to 2022.
