Manchester United legend Sir Alex Ferguson says Jurgen Klopp can be a success with Liverpool.
Ferguson does not believe the lack of success (or presence) from German managers is a bad omen.
“Absolutely [they can succeed]," he told Kicker. “Of course. Only a few English managers work in the Premier League - the last time one won the title was in 1992.
“Scots, Portuguese, Spanish, French and Italians work successfully here so why not Germans? There's no reason why they couldn't approach it with confidence."
Ferguson did, however, voice his concern with regards to Liverpool's infamous transfer committee, saying he would have struggled to work under such a structure.
"Although a lot of things have changed, the manager still has to have the last words on buying players," he said. "There are organisations that say to a manager, 'These are our players for next year.'
"I doubt that I could deal with that. They take away responsibility from you but you don't know who you'll get."
