It's the question that continues to linger in the background: Just who will be the next manager of Liverpool?
Xabi Alonso, who won the Champions League with the Reds in 2005 and is performing miracles in charge of Bayer Leverkusen, is the favourite
Ruben Amorim, the highly rated manager of Sporting CP, is also said to be in the running
While Brighton & Hove Albion's Roberto De Zerbi and current Germany boss Julian Nagelsmann have been linked, too.
One man who isn't expected to replace Klopp is Steven Gerrard, who is arguably the greatest player in Liverpool's history.
Former Tottenham Hotspur and Portsmouth boss Harry Redknapp believes Gerrard should be the Reds' next manager
Redknapp said:
“I’m going to say somebody and people are going to think that I’m off my head, but I would give it to Steven Gerrard.
“I know people will say that he was a failure at Aston Villa and it didn’t go great there, but he’s a Liverpool man and was an incredible player for them.
"He’s got passion for the game and I used to listen to him speak when he was at Rangers and always thought he was going to be top drawer. I would love to see him manage Liverpool.
“Xabi Alonso would be a good choice as well but there’s every chance he will go to Bayern Munich - they’re a massive club as well who managed to get Harry Kane to leave the Premier League last summer.
"I know I’m probably not in the majority when I say it should be Steven Gerrard but I’ve still got belief in him - I don’t write people off.
“You need the right players in order to perform well as a manager.
"Look at Unai Emery at Aston Villa - he went to Arsenal and was no good but has gone to Villa and is doing a great job.
"It’s a different club with different players and the circumstances are different - it just worked for him there. I’m in Steven Gerrard’s corner for this one.”
