Jurgen Klopp is currently Red Bull's Head of Global Soccer.
He was hugely complimentary of the Palace boss ahead of a meeting at Anfield in April 2024.
Writing in his programme notes, Klopp said: “Oliver is someone whose work I know pretty well as he is a manager who did a really good job in the Bundesliga with Wolfsburg and Eintracht Frankfurt before moving to Palace earlier this year.
“Replacing a club legend like Roy Hodgson would not be easy for anyone but Oliver's record, reputation and ability make him a wise choice, I would say.
I do not know how well known he was in England before he came to the Premier League, but his CV speaks for itself and it is even decorated with a Europa League, which was won a couple of seasons back with Frankfurt.
