Klopp leaving Liverpool is a ‘seismic shock’ | Alonso will be an exciting replacement | Pep: I will miss Klopp rivalry

Teddy Draper presents ‘Back Pages Tonight’ alongside Mark Ogden from ESPN and The Mirror’s Andy Dunn. Both review the major talking points from the sporting world, which include Jurgen Klopp’s surprise announcement that he will leave Liverpool at the end of the season, and both feel that decision will cause a ‘seismic shock’ amongst the footballing world.

Xabi Alonso has now become the favourite to succeed Klopp at Anfield and they believe the Bayer Leverkusen manager will be an exciting appointment. After Manchester City’s narrow 1-0 win against Tottenham in the FA Cup fourth round, Pep Guardiola revealed that he will miss the rivalry with Klopp, but insisted that the German will be back in management.
