Liverpool hero John Arne Riise says Rangers boss Steven Gerrard is ready for the Anfield job.
But the former left-back insists current boss Jurgen Klopp's future is in his own hands amid the Reds' slump in form.
He told the Mirror: "Obviously he won the league on Sunday, Stevie, which is a massive achievement for him and his team.
"I always knew he was going to be a success because he is a hard-working person, not just on the pitch but as a manager. I'm very happy for him.
"People are saying 'He doesn't have the experience yet, he's young'. One thing I know about Steven Gerrard: he's always going to be ready for anything that comes to him, because he's that type of person.
"So I think that when Klopp decides to stop managing Liverpool - I think Klopp is the one to decide if he keeps going or not, he's never going to get sacked, he'll get an agreement to go when he doesn't see a future there - when he goes if it's one, two, three, four years, I think Stevie's going to be the next man."
