“He’s proven that he can be a coach for the big time. There are hardly any coaches who come into question who are currently free, who don’t have a job or who are on sabbatical.
“It’s not so easy to tell them that FC Bayern is the measure of all things.”
On the situation in both clubs at the moment, Thomas Tuchel will be leaving Bayern Munich at the end of the season, as Jurgen Klopp has announced his decision to step at Liverpool in January.
Having level on points with leaders Arsenal, the Reds are second in the Premier League,
