Liverpool made a move for Carlo Ancelotti as Brendan Rodgers' replacement, according to former Tottenham and QPR manager Harry Redknapp.
Ancelotti and Jürgen Klopp were among the frontrunners to succeed Rodgers at Anfield, before the club opted for the latter last week.
Redknapp, though, is adamant that the Reds approached Ancelotti before hiring Klopp.
"I have heard from good sources that he [Ancelotti] was offered the Liverpool job," Redknapp told talkSPORT.
"I don't think [he wanted it]. They spoke to him at some stage."
Liverpool have disappointed this season and are currently languishing in 10th place, three points off 4th.
