This is why Xabi Alonso can be the next manager of Liverpool
Xabi Alonso, the former Liverpool midfielder and current manager of Bayer Leverkusen, has emerged as the early frontrunner to succeed Jurgen Klopp as the club’s manager. Klopp’s surprising decision to step down at the end of the season has sparked speculation about his potential successor, with Alonso being a prominent name in discussions.
Reports suggest that Liverpool’s pursuit of Alonso might be facilitated by a clause in his contract with Bayer Leverkusen. According to German publication BILD, the Spaniard, contracted with Leverkusen until 2026, possesses a clause enabling him to leave at the end of the season for any of the three major European clubs where he previously played: Liverpool, Bayern Munich, or Real Madrid.
Alonso’s managerial stint at Leverkusen has been impressive, with his unbeaten side currently leading the Bundesliga, holding a four-point advantage over the reigning champions, Bayern Munich.
The possibility of Alonso returning to Liverpool, where he enjoyed a successful playing career, adds an intriguing dimension to the ongoing managerial speculation at Anfield.
