The Norwegian’s three-year tenure was brought to an end on Sunday following the Premier League defeat at Watford on Saturday.

First team coach Michael Carrick will take charge of the next game, against Villarreal in the Champions League on Tuesday, with the club said to be keen to hire an interim manager to fill in until the end of the season.

Brendan Rodgers’ work at Celtic and Leicester City has also caught the eye while Ajax’s Erik ten Hag is another option being considered.
