Brendan Rodgers: Liverpool boss sacked after Merseyside derby

Liverpool have sacked manager Brendan Rodgers after three and a half years in charge.

Ex-Borussia Dortmund boss Jurgen Klopp is first choice to take over.
Rodgers was dismissed after Sunday's 1-1 draw at Everton, which left the Reds 10th in the Premier League, but the decision was made before the game.
"Although this has been a difficult decision, we believe it provides us with the best opportunity for success on the pitch," read a club statement.
