Liverpool legend Mark Lawrenson supports Jurgen Klopp as next manager.

Klopp is among the favourites for the job following the dismissal of Brendan Rodgers yesterday.

Lawro wrote for BBC Sport: "Liverpool need a manager who is big enough to handle the pressure, without thinking he is bigger than the club.

"Whoever it is will have to buy into the mindset of the American owners - they want success, but their model is to try to get that by signing younger players they can train up and, sometimes, sell on.

"Jurgen Klopp is the favourite to get the job and he would fit the bill.

"At Borussia Dortmund he built a team that were in your face, with good players that he was making better but he also knew he would have to sell one or even two every year."
