Former Liverpool defender Markus Babbel can see Pep Guardiola moving to Newcastle.
Babbel believes Jurgen Klopp might be persuaded to carry on at Anfield, believing the Reds boss could even decide to retire when the time comes for him to leave Liverpool. However, he believes it's a different story when it comes to Pep Guardiola and Man City, backing the former Bayern boss to make a shock move when he departs the Etihad.
“If he leaves Liverpool, then he's retiring," he told the Liverpool Echo. “After Liverpool where do you go? You can't go to Bayern, you can't join another English club. The only thing I can imagine is the German national team.
"If Hansi Flick isn't successful then maybe he has a go with the national team, but he's so full of fire I can't see him leaving anytime soon. So much energy, he's so happy with his boys, I can't believe he'll finish when his contract expires.
“I wouldn't be surprised if he (Guardiola) went to Newcastle. He's a fantastic coach, one of the best ever, but he's not as emotionally invested as Klopp. As long as he has money to spend building a team, he could go anywhere."
