Liverpool are considering bringing in Aston Villa manager Martin O'Neill to replace Rafael Benitez at the forefront of the team's affairs, according to The Guardian.
The former Valencia boss has come under intense pressure following a dreary start to the season, which has seen the Reds flushed from the Champions League at the group stage.
Consistently inconsistent displays have given rise to many false dawns, and the recent slump of one win in their last five outings in all competitions has drawn further criticism towards the Spaniard.
It is believed that the club's owners, Tom Hicks and George Gillett, are now pondering the possibility of bringing in O'Neill to do the job that Benitez has failed to accomplish.
The Villans are on fire at the moment, having lost only one game in their last 14, with five consecutive victories in all competitions.
Despite heavy speculation surrounding his future, Benitez has always maintained his loyalty to Liverpool, claiming that he intends to honour his contract with the Merseyside club.
