Klopp, according to Hamann, should step down as Liverpool manager at the end of the season.
“If they don’t bring players in, I can’t see him staying,” the 49-year-old told Sky Deutschland.
“Because I can’t image him staying if he doesn’t have a remote possibility of playing for a title. The stakes are really high.
“I believe it would be beneficial for both parties if they made a cut in the summer. In recent months, the team has been disintegrating.
“I think it’s nearly impossible for a coach who’s been around that long to pull off.”
Throughout the season, Hamann has been vocal in his criticism of Klopp, which has apparently enraged the Reds manager.

The Athletic reported that after Hamann took aim at assistant manager Pep Lijnders on social media, Klopp took Hamann’s comments personally.
“He [Klopp] is reported to be unhappy at reports claiming that some within the camp have questioned the position of Andreas Kornmayer, his head of fitness and conditioning, and at former Liverpool midfielder Dietmar Hamann’s questioning of assistant manager Andreas Kornmayer,” stated journalist Oliver Kay.
“As personally as Klopp has taken criticism of his players this season, criticism of the coaching staff has been considerably harsher.”
