Liverpool are close to appointing former Borussia Dortmund boss Jurgen Klopp as their new manager on a three-year contract.
The Reds hope to complete negotiations by Thursday and name the 48-year-old German as Brendan Rodgers' successor by the end of the week.
Rodgers was sacked on Sunday following the 1-1 Premier League draw at Everton.
Klopp has asked to bring former assistants Zeljko Buvac and Peter Krawietz as part of his coaching staff.
Bosnian Buvac, 54, and German Krawietz, 43, were key members of Klopp's backroom team during his time at Dortmund.

Liverpool are also considering former Real Madrid and Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti, who is currently out of work.
But the 56-year-old Italian has suggested he may only return to management next season.
He said: "I enjoy my time now but, of course, I want to come back to manage - to work - because it is my passion.
"I want to take my time to rest, but next season I am ready."
Klopp guided the club to two Bundesliga titles before he departed this summer after a difficult domestic campaign in which they lost the German Cup final to Wolfsburg and finish seventh in the league.
