Liverpool Football Club was hoping to bring back a familiar face, Xabi Alonso, to manage the team after Jurgen Klopp announced his retirement earlier this year. Unfortunately, those plans didn’t work out. Alonso decided to stay with his current team, Bayer Leverkusen, in Germany.
Alonso is a favorite amongst Liverpool fans. He played for Liverpool and even won the Champions League with them! Because of this history, many people thought he would be the perfect person to take over for the popular Jurgen Klopp.
However, Alonso is doing very well with Bayer Leverkusen right now. His team is currently leading the German Bundesliga and is undefeated in all competitions this season! With such success, it’s no surprise that Alonso decided to stay put.
This means Liverpool needs to find a new manager. The leading candidates now include Ruben Amorim, Roberto De Zerbi, and Julian Nagelsmann.
Even though they missed out on Alonso, Liverpool is still in a good position. Jurgen Klopp has built a strong team with talented young players and experienced stars. They are currently challenging for the Premier League title and are still in the Europa League.
Replacing a legend like Klopp will be a tough job, but whoever takes over will be inheriting a successful team with a bright future.
