Liverpool’s pursuit of Xabi Alonso appears to be coming to an end, as the club has reportedly abandoned plans to appoint him as manager. It is looking increasingly likely that Alonso will stay at Bayer Leverkusen for at least one more season as he looks set to lead them to Bundesliga and Champions League glory.
The decision to shift the focus from Alonso to other managerial candidates shows that Liverpool is considering alternative options for Jürgen Klopp’s successor. Among these alternatives are Ruben Amorim, manager of Portuguese Sporting, and Roberto De Zerbi, currently in charge of Brighton.
Even Klopp himself recognises Alonso’s potential as a manager and praises his footballing skills and the success he has achieved at Leverkusen. Klopp sees Alonso as the best candidate for the managerial position due to his combination of playing experience and coaching pedigree.
Despite Bayern Munich’s interest, Alonso seems committed to continuing the project in Bayer Leverkusen football jersey, where he has already achieved significant success. With Leverkusen’s recent dominance in the Bundesliga, Alonso seems determined to build on these foundations rather than look elsewhere for new challenges.
Bayern Munich football jersey is looking for a new manager as Thomas Tuchel prepares to leave the club. Although Bayern may have hoped to lure Alonso, this seems unlikely given his commitment to Leverkusen’s continued success. Bayern’s honorary president Uli Hernandez admits that it is difficult to secure Alonso’s signature at the moment.
Given Leverkusen’s current trajectory and Alonso’s commitment to the club, it seems that Liverpool may need to explore other options for Klopp’s successor. Ruben Amorim is emerging as a prominent candidate, having led Sporting Portugal to the Portuguese title and reportedly having a release clause of £17 million.
Roberto De Zerbi, who impressed at Brighton, is also a realistic possibility for a managerial position at Liverpool football jersey. The upcoming game against Liverpool gives him another chance to show his skills to the Anfield hierarchy.
Looking ahead, Liverpool could face Alonso and Leverkusen in the Europa League final, which will add an interesting complication to the manager search. With Alonso’s managerial career gaining momentum and Leverkusen continuing to be successful, Liverpool need to think carefully about their options when planning for the future after Klopp’s tenure.
