We asked Liverpool fans who they would choose as Jurgen Klopp’s successor and 32,000 responded. It can be said that there is a priority purpose. As you can see, Jurgen Klopp is set to leave his position as Liverpool manager.
The German announced his decision on Friday, starting from an important step in the search for a successor. After all, Liverpool have made incredible strides under Klopp and will not want to fall behind under their new manager. Besides, there is no one on his level.
The Reds will have to take a chance on someone. We asked on Twitter which fans should take advantage of this feature and received thousands of responses. More than 32,000 people voted in the poll, which took place in less than 24 hours.
The options here were Bayer Leverkusen manager (and former Liverpool midfielder) Xabi Alonso, Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi, Sporting’s Ruben Amorim or anyone else.So there are four choices, but only one winner. Over 89% of you voted for Alonso to be Liverpool’s next manager.
That means a horse race for the fans. Zerbi, who came second by a wide margin, received only 6.8% of the vote. Of course, this makes perfect sense. Alonso has done wonders for Leverkusen, taking them unbeaten and four points clear of Bayern Munich at the top of the Bundesliga.
Although it is far from the charm and resources of Bavaria. Let’s see if he can cross that line. Leverkusen don’t have the best history in this regard. But Alonso is of course a man who knows Liverpool Football Club well. Early in his career, he spent four years with the Reds and became one of the best midfielders in the world.
This is a man who won everything in the game as a player, worked under some of the best managers in history and is now proving he can challenge as a boss in Europe’s top competition. No wonder he is the first choice of Liverpool fans.
