Ronald Koeman – Southampton
Imagine the headlines if Liverpool followed up their signing of the Saints’ top players by going after their head coach. Nonetheless, his debut season at the St Mary’s Stadium, after selling the likes of Adam Lallana, Dejan Lovren and Rickie Lambert – all key in their previous campaign – has suggested that there is something special about the Dutchman.
A manager with fine experience across Europe – having managed Ajax, Benfica, PSV, Valencia, AZ and Feyenoord. Liverpool, however, are craving a coach with title success, and it will be interesting to see how Southampton act in the transfer market ahead of next season following an excellent 2014-15 campaign.
