Former Liverpool midfielder Danny Murphy believes either Steven Gerrard or Xabi Alonso will be the club's manager one day.
The ex-Red, who now works as a pundit, was speaking about the club's future after the reign of Jurgen Klopp, who is currently in charge.
Gerrard is working as a manager at Aston Villa, having won the Scottish Premiership with Rangers.
Meanwhile, Alonso has recently taken on the manager's job at Bayer Leverkusen.
“I think Steven Gerrard or Xabi Alonso could manage Liverpool, absolutely, yeah," Murphy told Fair Betting Sites.
“I don't think either of them have probably done just enough yet to warrant that. I don't think there's a Liverpool fan on the planet, irrelevant of the start of the season, that would be even thinking about a possible change with Klopp. I don't see that at all.
“I think it's a big couple of seasons for Stevie at Villa to show his credentials, implement his style. It's been a little bit up and down for him at Villa. He'd probably be the first to say that, so we'll have to wait and see.
“I think Alonso's more in the infancy of his managerial career. So, you know, that's a hard one to anticipate. I know he had a good first win, but in terms of their stature amongst Liverpool supporters and the legacy they've left, it would be silly not to think that one of them could be in the dugout at Anfield one day."
“Liverpool will finish 4th I think," Murphy added on their outlook for this season.
"On Klopp, he can't change his philosophy and his way of managing that's given so much success overnight. For me, it's just about being on top of players, reinforcing the messages and making sure they're training at a high level because performances don't improve unless your training is at it.
"There's a lot of honest players in that squad to look at themselves, and I'm concerned, but I'm not worried. The cream always rises to the top."
