Pep Lijnders 'to strip Liverpool of entire backroom staff' as Klopp assistant eyes new job


Pep Lijnders could reportedly bring Liverpool’s entire backroom team with him to Besiktas after offering himself to the Turkish giants. The Dutchman is set to leave Anfield after five years as the club’s assistant manager when Jurgen Klopp steps down at the end of the campaign.

Lijnders has been linked with a number of roles in advance of next season but is said to be leaning towards a move to Besiktas, who are looking for a new permanent manager. According to Sabah, the 41-year-old has already reached out to offer his services following the exit of Fernando Santos earlier this month.

It is said that Lijnders is keen to start his managerial career after leaving Liverpool and has identified Besiktas as the club he wants to lead next season. The report adds that he could take his ‘entire Liverpool team’ with him, potentially leaving the Reds needing to appoint several new coaches over the summer.
