The id of the subsequent Liverpool supervisor stays a thriller as Jürgen Klopp’s scheduled departure hastens with each weekend that passes.
The membership evidently has its targets as its pursuit of former participant Xabi Alonso has turn out to be a race for a supervisor thought of to be the subsequent nice determine within the sport. The previous Actual Sociedad B crew coach took his first managerial position with Bayer Leverkusen at first of October final season. Alonso got here in as a substitute for Gerardo Seoane with the German membership second from backside.
His work since then has been transformative and on this marketing campaign, his first full season with the membership, Leverkusen are perched on the high of the desk with a seven-point hole between them and Bayern Munich in second. Much more impressively, Leverkusen stay undefeated throughout all competitions taking part in a model of soccer that leaves these watching converts on the chapel of Alonso.
‘Alonso would be capable of adapt’
One other former Liverpool participant, Stan Collymore who now works for Canal+ believes that Alonso could be the best supervisor to switch Klopp on the Merseyside membership.
Talking solely to L’Équipe, Collymore acknowledged his case, “Not solely as a result of he’s obtained improbable outcomes with Leverkusen, however he has already established a robust relationship with [the supporters], who don’t overlook that he scored the third objective Istanbul [3-3, 3-2 on penalties].”
Collymore continued, “Some imagine that his taking part in philosophy wouldn’t be appropriate with that advocated by Klopp, however I believe that Alonso would be capable of adapt, each to this Liverpool squad and to the depth of the Premier League.”
For the case of Franck Haise, the present RC Lens supervisor who had been not too long ago linked to the position, Collymore was much less enthusiastic, “One of the best Premier League golf equipment flip to coaches who’ve already confirmed themselves in very massive European golf equipment. However the truth that Liverpool are inquiring about him proves that he’s doing an excellent job at Lens.”
