Liverpool approach Guardiola, Capello, Martinez and Rodgers
Liverpool's search for a new manager took an unlikely and spectacular twist after it emerged the Anfield club had approached at least four high-profile names, including former Barcelona boss Pep Guardiola.
Anfield officials cast their net as wide as possible in their search to replace Kenny Dalglish by sounding out Guardiola and former England boss Fabio Capello. They have also made formal moves to speak to Roberto Martinez and Brendan Rodgers — managers of Wigan and Swansea respectively.
Wigan chairman Dave Whelan confirmed he had given permission for Martinez, the bookmakers’ favourite to replace Dalglish, to speak to Liverpool’s American owners Fenway Sports Group.
Aston Villa have also approached Martinez about their managerial vacancy and held talks on Thursday.
Sportsmail understands the discussions were positive, to the point Martinez is giving serious consideration to succeeding Alex McLeish rather than leaping into the highly-scrutinised role at Anfield.
Martinez will meet Liverpool officials but it could be that he will leave the door open for Rodgers, whose Swansea side beat Liverpool 1-0 last weekend in what proved to be Dalglish’s final game.
Liverpool have made it clear that Rodgers and Martinez are not the only candidates on their list and they will not rush any decision.
The owners are eager to gather as much information as possible before they fill the post and John W Henry will leave no stone unturned in his bid to find the best man for the job.
Guardiola is available after deciding to take a year away from football after a remarkably successful spell at Barcelona.
Didier Deschamps, the Marseille manager who almost succeeded Rafa Benitez in 2010, remains highly-regarded at Anfield, while Borussia Dortmund’s Jurgen Klopp and the Holland national coach Bert van Marwijk also have their admirers.
Andre Villas-Boas would have been a contender but the former Chelsea manager appears set to take charge at Roma.
SO YOU SEE LADS WE ARE SPEAKING TO A FEW CANDIDATES JUST NOT ROBERTO
We know. It was said back on the first page.

Doesn't matter WHO takes over...even Maureen...not that that will happen. Just putting it into perspective. Whoever comes in, it's going to be absolute HELL for them, as expectations have now gone well over and beyond fever pitch.
