Liverpool No2 Linders in Besiktas talks; ready to take staff with him

Liverpool's entire backroom team could be heading out of the club in the summer.

The Reds are set to lose manager Jurgen Klopp to a sabbatical, with the German burned out from the sport.

However, the departure of his assistant Pep Lijnders could prove even more disruptive.

Per Sabah, the 41-year-old is speaking to Besiktas about becoming their head coach.

Lijnders is ready to make the step up as a manager and will want to take Liverpool's backroom team with him.

The Anfield club may not object, as their next head coach is likely to want his own team in place.
