Liverpool defender Emre Can believes German compatriot Jurgen Klopp is a "great coach" who will be a success if he is named Liverpool manager.
Former Borussia Dortmund head coach Klopp, who has been out of work since he decided to leave the Bundesliga club at the end of last season, is in talks with Liverpool to succeed Brendan Rodgers as Reds boss.
Rodgers was sacked on Sunday after Liverpool drew 1-1 away to Merseyside rivals Everton, a result that leaves them 10th in the Premier League table going into the international break.
Liverpool owners Fenway Sports Group hope to have Klopp in place by the weekend and Can believes he has the right attributes to be a success at Anfield.
"Jurgen Klopp is certainly a great coach," Can told Die Welt newspaper.
"I think he has demonstrated in Dortmund that he can match any team in the world.
"We had with Liverpool a dip that has cost us a few games.
"Although the focus is mainly on coach Brendan Rodgers, at the end we have players responsible for the situation in Liverpool. Rodgers has done good work - always."
