Michael Owen: 'Jurgen Klopp ideal choice for Liverpool'

Michael Owen backs Jurgen Klopp to take the vacant managerial position at Liverpool, claiming that the German would be better suited to the job than Carlo Ancelotti.

Former Liverpool striker Michael Owen has suggested that Jurgen Klopp could be the man to get "disillusioned" supporters excited once more.

The Reds parted company with Brendan Rodgers on Sunday evening following a slow start to the season.

Former Borussia Dortmund chief Klopp has been installed as one of the early favourites to take over at Anfield, alongside Italian boss Carlo Ancelotti.

Owen has become the latest name to have his say on the situation, claiming that there is one standout candidate for the high-profile job.

"Klopp would certainly excite the Liverpool fans who had become so disillusioned with Rodgers and in this day and age their part in the whole process cannot be overestimated," he wrote on blogging site Sportlobster.

"He would also bring a burning desire to succeed and to take the club from their true position of 'top six' to right back in the mix for winning the title and where finishing top four is a given every season.

"The big advantage Klopp has over Ancelotti is that whereas Ancelotti has generally managed at clubs who were already very successful with a squad full of top players, Klopp took over at Borussia Dortmund when they were in a similar position to that which Liverpool find themselves in now."

Liverpool are reportedly planning on holding talks with Klopp later this week.
