Less than two weeks later, Klopp delivered the shock news that he would be leaving the Anfield hot seat at the end of the season after nine years. Since his arrival in October 2015, the German has ensured Liverpool’s return to Europe’s elite. Klopp won six major trophies under Klopp, including the Champions League title in 2019 and his first Premier League title the following season. The Reds also continue to struggle at the top of the table and in the top four this season.
FSG will now face the challenge of filling Klopp’s vacancy. Alonso, who won the Champions League with Liverpool in 2005, is one of the top positions. The former Spanish footballer is the manager of Bundesliga leaders Bayer Leverkusen. Brighton’s Roberto De Zerbi is also one of the favourites, while former RB Leipzig coach Julian Nagelsmann is another name.
Peterborough United majority shareholder and Liverpool fan Darragh McAnthony believes there should be up-and-coming managers rather than seasoned veterans. It may be too soon for Martin, who is currently in the process of leading Southampton back to the Premier League in his first season as part of a 24-match unbeaten run, to take the helm at Anfield. Top.
McAnthony said on his podcast The Hard Truth: “From an evolutionary perspective, what he has done for the club is win the league for the first time in 30 years. Football, character – I understand why he did it. I understand it’s sold out and coming at full speed. If I were a football manager, I would need a break because I would be running at full speed.
“I’m not comparing myself, his personality is there. If he can’t give it his all, he’s one of the real ones. Some people might get £15 million and be done with it, but that’s not all. Even if he is poor, he will leave.”We loved Alonso. I am not sure if we will get him because Real Madrid will probably target him. Other than that, I can’t think of too many candidates I prefer. I don’t want anyone over 50 or 60. I want someone who will be Liverpool 2.0. Or you could call it Liverpool 2.5 now. Because now a new coach has been appointed.
“They want young, fresh, new ideas. I think we can have a good season if we win two trophies. We’re not going to win the league, we’re going to be Man City. I always said they would win a race at a canter. It’s really devastating and misses out on another great feature of the Premier League. If Pep leaves in a year, the Premier League will ask: “What do you have left?” he asks. It’s such a shame.“I think you’re looking at a boy from Brighton. The Leicester player could be a golden opportunity. He is criticized by Leicester fans for having too much of the ball.
Maybe it’s the German Nagelsmann, who I don’t like. Alonso would be perfect because he has Liverpool DNA. “Klopp’s second-in-command, Pep Linders, is leaving. Do we give him a chance? “I don’t know, he’s screaming out there, but I think he’s going to make it and he’s going to have a chance.” Now they are not taking any chances with him, he has to prove that he will be Russell Martin. “If he finishes the first half with his style of play, with Southampton in the lead, the big clubs will target him,” he said.
