Liverpool are set to see some big changes with Jurgen Klopp leaving at the end of the season and Jorg Schmadtke already gone
FSG will need to make sure they pick the right new manager and sporting director as choices that will shape the future of Anfield.
At the moment, Xabi Alonso is a being tipped for the job because of his great work with Real Sociedad B and now Bayer Leverkusen
Liverpool will also be considering other options. It's no secret that Mike Gordon, who is leading the search for FSG, will be using data to help them figure out who would be the best fit for the manager's role.
Alonso seems like a good choice but Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has suggested another name
Carragher
"There's the guy at Benfica that I've heard mentioned, Roger Schmidt,"
"I think he has got that link to the sort of Red Bull school... I think when people are mentioning him, it's almost sort of the style is similar to Klopp's style, so you think, 'Okay, would that be a good fit and would you have to change that much?'"
Roger Schmidt has been successful in four different countries and has made a big impact at Benfica in Portugal
In his first season, Benfica won the Portuguese league and they've continued their form this season.
