It was confirmed on Friday morning that Klopp will step down as Liverpool manager at the end of the 23/24 season. The news has shocked the football world and Liverpool fans are now worried about what the future holds for the club.
Since the news broke, former Manchester United midfielder Xavi, who currently coaches German side Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga, has been the bookies’ favorite to replace Alonso Klopp.
In addition to Alonso, Roberto De Zerbi, Thomas Frank and Julian Nagelsmann also participated in this work. However, current Manchester United manager Ten Hag could play a role in Liverpool signing a replacement for Klopp. According to the Daily Telegraph, United have De Zerby and Thomas Tuchel at their disposal if they want to offload Ten Hag.
It has been a difficult season for the Ten Hag as United have struggled to get top results. The Dutchman’s future is uncertain, especially with the arrival of new investor Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
If United decide to part ways with the Ten Hag this season, Liverpool could face an uphill battle if they are serious about signing De Zerbi, who impressed at Brighton & Hove Albion.
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has already spoken highly of the Italian. He said: “No team plays like that. It’s unique. I felt he would have a huge impact on the Premier League when he arrived. I didn’t expect him to do that in such a short period of time.
“He creates 20 to 25 chances per game, which is much better than most opponents. He dominates the ball in a way he hasn’t done in a long time. They fully deserve the success they have achieved.”
