Liverpool appear to be leaning heavily on Xabi Alonso in their search for the perfect manager to replace Jurgen Klopp.Several European clubs are interested in Bayer Leverkusen’s coach. Liverpool’s owners believe he is the perfect manager to replace Jurgen Klopp at Anfield.Last weekend, Alonso’s Bayer Leverkusen side gave his CV a major boost with a win over Bayern Munich. According to Tuttomercatoweb, Liverpool are clearly ahead of Alonso.Reports suggest Bayern Munich are interested in Alonso given Thomas Tuchel’s uncertain future at the club, while Barcelona are also interested in signing Alonso, whose father played for the La Liga club.
Liverpool were also the first team to target Alonso’s signature. He also explains that Real Madrid, a potential stumbling block, will not pursue Alonso due to loyalty to Carlo Ancelotti. If so, Liverpool could have a perfect match with Alonso. Spanish side Bayer Leverkusen are unbeaten in their last 31 games and could finally be the team to beat Bayern Munich in Germany this season.
The only thing that can compete with Alonso is his experience, and the standards and demands at Liverpool will be very different to those he will face at the German club.The criticism of the coaches in England and Liverpool is harsher than that of the German clubs, where they joined without pressure or expectation. Other names linked with the Liverpool manager include Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi and Sporting manager Ruben Amorim.
