Coming from Fabrizio Romano just few days after confirming that Xabi Alonso to Liverpool is OFF. He just confirmed that Liverpool have identified Jurgen Klopp’s replacement as their next manager. 🚨 He’s going to be perfect for Liverpool! 😱 Nobody saw it coming, 💪😮 he has won five Champions League trophy in his managerial career
Xabi Alonso, the manager of Bayer Leverkusen, is set to continue leading the club for another season, dispelling speculations linking him to a move to Liverpool. Despite being 42 years old, Alonso has orchestrated Leverkusen’s impressive campaign, positioning them for a potential Bundesliga triumph, with the team yet to taste defeat this season. While clubs like Liverpool, Bayern Munich, and Real Madrid have shown interest in his managerial prowess, Alonso appears committed to extending his stay at Leverkusen, dealing a setback to Liverpool’s plans of having him as Jurgen Klopp’s successor. Consequently, Liverpool is now exploring alternatives, with Ruben Amorim emerging as a prominent candidate. Amorim, 39, currently coaches Sporting CP and has a £17 million release clause in his contract. His notable achievements at Sporting CP, including securing their first league title in 19 years in 2021 and leading them to the top of Liga Portugal, make him an appealing option for Liverpool as they seek to maintain their success under Klopp’s legacy.
