Should Liverpool replace Jurgen Klopp with Carlo Ancelotti?
Liverpool are one of the biggest clubs in the world, but the Reds have not won the title in the Premier League era.
The Reds finished fourth in the league table last season and are unlikely to challenge for the championship this campaign.
Jurgen Klopp is in charge of Liverpool at the moment, but it is unlikely that the German manager will be able to guide the Reds to the title with the current squad.
Former Tottenham forward Crooks, who now works as a pundit for BBC Sport, believes that Ancelotti can take bring the Premier League title to Liverpool.
The Englishman has also suggested that the Reds should try to get the Italian tactician now that he is available.
Ancelotti is without a managerial job at the moment, having recently been dismissed by German and European giants Bayern Munich following a disappointing start to the season.
“As for Liverpool, let us be frank with each other,” Crooks told BBC Sport. “They are a great club with amazing history and they deserve a manager to reflect those points.
“There are few managers in the world who can take the title to Anfield but I believe former Chelsea, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich boss Carlo Ancelotti is one of those.”
“I said at the beginning of the season that it was madness to turn down the £100m-plus offer from Barcelona for Coutinho and not use that money to build a defence worthy of challenging for the title,” added Crooks.
“Having rejected that extraordinary offer, Liverpool executives are now forced to rethink the club’s strategy and fix what is an obvious problem. The man that can do that is Ancelotti and they must get him now while he’s available.”
