Liverpool managing director Ian Ayre is confident a lack of Champions League football won't hurt their manager search.

Ayre believes the right candidate will see a bigger picture.

"We will find out (the effect of not being in the Champions League) during the process I guess," he said.

"The reason I don't think it will have an effect is if you lined up most managers in football and asked them if Liverpool would be a great club to manage and most people would aspire to do so I think they would say yes.

"The history of this club, the reach of this club around the world , its fanbase and everything we have achieved and want to achieve is more than enough to keep any manager we would want to go after hungry for the opportunity." Tweet
