Former Germany international Thomas Hitzlsperger believes Jurgen Klopp can lead Liverpool to the title – just not this season.
Klopp has arrived at Anfield as Brendan Rodgers' successor to much fanfare and excitement after his impressive spell at Borussia Dortmund.
"Now you see, that the Premier League is very close together. I think they have the chance to qualify for the Champions League," Hitzlsperger said.
"They are no contender for the title this season, maybe next year.
"They are ready to invest a lot of money. If they trust their manager, which they do, they will give him a lot of money to spend and the title is possible."
"It's crazy what is happening there since his arrival, because the Englishmen loved the way Dortmund played under him," Hitzlsperger said.
"When I still played in England, they often asked me about him and Dortmund.
"I recognised that his enthusiasm and his charisma are things people love. He is definitely a charismatic character."
