Former Liverpool midfielder Dietmar Hamann has suggested that Jurgen Klopp should become the next manager of the club.

The German coach, who is out of work after leaving Borussia Dortmund in the summer, has been linked with the role at Anfield, while other reports have claimed that he could take charge of Bayern Munich next year.

Hamann, though, is confident that his fellow countryman would be a great appointment for the Merseysiders.

"The pressure in Liverpool gets bigger. The fans are on the barricades," he told Sky Germany. "But the coach is backed by the club, and anyway the question is: Would Klopp move there during the season?"

"Had they asked before the season, I am 99% sure that he would have joined them. Many people say that he will take over Bayern on July 1, 2016, but I don't know whether he's a fit there. He'd be a great fit at Liverpool."

Klopp won two Bundesliga titles during his spell at Dortmund.
