Former Liverpool defender John Arne Riise believes the club should target Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi as their replacement for Jurgen Klopp, not Arne Slot.
Klopp leaves Anfield at the end of the 2023-24 season, and Liverpool have been strongly linked with a move for Feyenoord boss Slot.
Despite this, Riise - who played over 200 games for Liverpool between 2001 and 2008 - says De Zerbi would be a better fit.
Speaking to BoyleSports about Premier League Odds, Riise said: "I know Slot is in pole position, but I love what De Zerbi has done at Brighton.
"He would be a good fit because he's so focussed on being who he is, he doesn't change, he goes his own way. I would love to see him at Liverpool.
"It depends on what direction they want to go and also Klopp's admiration for De Zerbi is a factor.
"Klopp, one way or another, will be giving the club some insight into how they should move forward and who they should look at and I believe De Zerbi is one of the top contenders and I'd be delighted to have him."
