Liverpool FC Eyes Xabi Alonso as Managerial Successor

Liverpool FC is preparing for a managerial change as reports indicate that their current manager may leave the club following a disappointing campaign. According to German media outlet Bild, Liverpool has identified Xabi Alonso as their preferred successor.

Alonso, who is currently the head coach at Bayer Leverkusen, is not expected to step in mid-season but is a target for the summer. Liverpool's recent performance has been poor, with a 2-1 defeat to Brighton and Hove Albion marking their tenth league loss this season.

Despite being fifth in the Premier League, their form has raised concerns about the manager's future. Alonso has previously declined an offer from Liverpool in 2024 but is now seen as a key figure for the club's impending rebuild, especially with the potential departure of star player Mohamed Salah.

Alonso's tactical clarity and ability to develop players are viewed as assets for Liverpool's future.
