He led Liverpool to glory in the 2019 Champions League and won the Premier League in 2020, Liverpool's first league title in 30 years. However, this season hasn't started well for the Reds.

Sherwood predicts Jurgen Klopp's exit

According to Metro, former Tottenham manager Sherwood believes the German coach won't be at Liverpool next season.

"I don’t think Jurgen Klopp is there next season; I think there’s a conversation to be had. I’m not sure Jurgen picks them up from where they are and makes them challengers again, I really don’t."

However, Sherwood feels the Reds won't sack Klopp.

"I don’t think they’ll sack him, but there will be a conversation where both parties agree that Jurgen has taken them as far as he can and they go for a new challenge. That’s just my hunch when I look at him and the team."

According to the BBC, Sherwood managed Spurs for five months during the 2014/15 season. He won the 1995 Premier League title with Blackburn Rovers.

Liverpool are 8th on the table with 16 points, after four wins from 11 games, and are 12 points behind log leaders Arsenal.

Klopp's verdict on Forest defeat

Sports Brief earlier reported on Klopp pointing a finger at his star defender Virgil Van Dijk for missing crucial chances against Nottingham Forest, which could've given them a win.

The Reds suffered a shock defeat away to Forest on October 22, denting their mini-revival.
