Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand feels Liverpool must be looking to appoint either Jurgen Klopp or Carlo Ancelotti as Brendan Rodgers’ replacement.
The Reds sacked the Northern Irishman earlier this evening and announced that due diligence will be taken while appointing his replacement; and the search starts now.
Last season’s performance, coupled with a poor start to the campaign, made Rodgers’ position untenable and another 1-1 draw at Everton today was the final straw for the club hierarchy, who decided to act fast.
Former Dortmund boss Klopp, who is currently on a sabbatical, has been widely linked with the Liverpool job since his departure from the Westfalenstadion at the end of last season and is currently the favourite to take up the job at Anfield
Ancelotti, the former Chelsea and Real Madrid boss, is also in the reckoning for the Liverpool manager’s job and Ferdinand feels the club must be looking to appoint either of the two.

The former defender urged the Liverpool hierarchy to act quickly and appoint the new man as soon as possible.
Writing on Twitter, Ferdinand said: “It's only Klopp & Ancelotti Liverpool can be going for.
“Need to make a decision quickly.”
Rodgers almost won the league with Liverpool in the 2013/14 season, but since then it has been a downward spiral for him and the club, which led his departure this evening.
