London: English Premier League side Liverpool is to appoint former Borussia Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp as their new manager.

The 48-year-old is in talks with the Reds and will be unveiled as Brendan Rodgers’ successor by Friday, as per reported, citing local media.

Rodgers was sacked on Sunday following the 1-1 Premier League draw at Everton, leaving Liverpool at the 10th position after eight games.

Liverpool’s next game is at Tottenham on October 17.

Klopp, who led Dortmund to two Bundesliga titles, has been out of work since departing this summer.

The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.

Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs.
