The Agenda: Jurgen Klopp's retirement plan hint and the parallels with Pep Guardiola

It doesn't bear thinking about - life after Jurgen Klopp. But the man who has masterminded Liverpool's return to the summit of European football has cast doubt over whether he will remain at Anfield beyond his current contract, which expires in 2022. The club would like Klopp to stay longer than that but so far - publicly at least - the 52-year-old has been reluctant to commit his future beyond three summers' time. And the Champions League-winning boss this week even admitted, when accepting the coach of the year award from Sport Bild in his native Germany, that he could retire in 'two or three years time'. So little wonder, then, the latest episode of The Agenda is all about the Reds manager. Joe Rimmer and Theo Squires wonder whether Klopp's seven-year itch will continue or whether he can be convinced to build a Alex Ferguson-style dynasty with the Reds. Our boys also discuss the parallels between Klopp's own future and that of his greatest rival, just where he could go next, and just who could replace the great man if he does leave.
