Jurgen Klopp has agreed to become Liverpool’s new manager and is expected at the club later on Thursday, British media reports.

The English Premier League side have been looking for a new boss since Brendan Rodgers was sacked on Sunday.

The former Borussia Dortmund coach had been the hot favourite from the start.

Sky television said Klopp, 48, had agreed to become manager.

The Daily Mail newspaper said Klopp would sign a three year deal under which he would earn more than STG4 million ($A8.5 million) a year.

Several of Rodgers’ backroom staff – including Gary McAllister and Sean O’Driscoll – left Liverpool on Thursday in anticipation of the new manager arriving.

Klopp led Borussia to two Bundesliga titles in seven years before leaving in May saying he wanted a sabbatical.
