In order to “apprentice” coach Klopp, Torres returned to Liverpool.

Liverpool FC thrilled supporters recently by featuring a picture of head coach Jurgen Klopp alongside former striker Fernando Torres on their homepage.Torres is understood to have taken a day off to return to Liverpool at Klopp’s request in order to increase his coaching expertise. The 40-year-old former striker not only witnessed his old team’s training session firsthand, but he was also present at the Anfield game on March 31 at 8:00 p.m. when the “Red Brigade” played Brighton in round 30 of the Premier League.

Torres acknowledged that he had picked up a lot from Klopp in an interview that appeared on the Liverpool website: “I have picked up a lot of knowledge, but the most significant thing is undoubtedly the charisma and personality of Klopp and his staff. participants. Everyone is treated as family by him.”

Torres played in the friendly encounter between Liverpool Legends and Ajax Legends last week as well. He even scored the game-winning goal, helping the “Red Brigade” win 4-2.

Torres was a player with Liverpool for four years, from 2007 to 2011, scoring 81 goals in 142 games in all competitions. Leading the Atletico Madrid U19 team, the 40-year-old former striker gave coaching a go after retiring in 2019.

revealing which coach would be best for Liverpool

When Torres made his way back to Liverpool, the “Red Brigade” was actively searching for a new head coach to succeed Klopp following the 2023–2024 campaign. The Anfield team is interested in Xabi Alonso, Torres’s old teammate, but Alonso recently stated that he is committed to staying with parent club Bayer Leverkusen.

ESPN recently used a variety of statistics to determine which coach would be best for Liverpool. Thus, rather than Alonso, Thomas Frank, the “captain” of Brentford, is the best option for the Anfield squad. The reason is that, out of the clubs in the top 5 European national leagues, Brentford, the team this coach is leading, plays in a way that is most akin to Liverpool’s.

ESPN noted that in addition to Liverpool, the coach would be a good fit for major teams like Barcelona or Bayern Munich who are getting ready to replace their head coach at the end of the campaign. Paradoxically, Barcelona is the best place for Alonso to make his debut. Sebastian Hoeness is a good choice to guide the “Gray Tigers” for Bayern Munich (Stuttgart).
