Ian Wright: 'Liverpool should pair Jurgen Klopp with Jamie Carragher'

Ex-Arsenal striker Ian Wright claims that Liverpool should bring in Jamie Carragher as part of Jurgen Klopp's coaching staff at Anfield, should the German take charge.

Former Arsenal striker Ian Wright has claimed that Liverpool should bring in Jamie Carragher as part of Jurgen Klopp's coaching staff.

The former Borussia Dortmund manager is widely expected to take over at Anfield, with the club reportedly hoping to have the 48-year-old in place by the end of the week.

Wright has suggested that Carragher, who played 737 times for Liverpool before retiring in 2013, would bring local knowledge to the dressing room should Klopp be appointed.

"We all know how much stock they've put on the old Boot Room ethos at Anfield over the years," Wright told The Sun.

"How important it has been to have a Scouser on the backroom team who understands the emotion and the passion which goes hand in hand with working at one of the world's great clubs. And for all they have struggled at times, Liverpool is still one of the great footballing institutions.

"That has never been more important than it is right now – and can you imagine the massive shot in the arm it would give everyone to have not only Klopp but also Carragher there?"

Liverpool are without a manager after dismissing Brendan Rodgers on Sunday.
