‘EXTRAORDINARY’ MANAGER TARGETED AS KLOPP REPLACEMENT HAS ADMITTED HE DREAMS OF LIVERPOOL.
The “extraordinary” manager was criticized after Klopp’s replacement admitted to having Liverpool aspirations.Xabi Alonso, the former coach of Bayer Leverkusen, has previously stated that replacing Jurgen Klopp at Anfield would be an absolute “dream.” Klopp has now confirmed his departure from the Red Bull Arena.
As the haze descends from the imminent departure of Jurgen Klopp from Liverpool, the remarks made by Xabi Alonso in an interview with talkSPORT in 2018 appear even more puzzling.Especially now that HITC Football is aware that Alonso, not Brighton and Hove Albion manager Roberto de Zerbi, is the current contender to fill the seat that Klopp has held warm for nearly a decade.
Jurgen Klopp is expected to be replaced by Xabi Alonso.Alonso responded, “Absolutely, I have fantasized about the possibility of returning to Merseyside in a managerial capacity.” “However, I must first prepare and establish my ability.”
Without a doubt, Alonso has undoubtedly accomplished that.
A thrilling Bayer Leverkusen squad led by Alonso has won an astounding 24 of 27 games across all competitions in 2023/24, maintaining an unblemished record and leading Bayern Munich by four points atop the Bundesliga standings. Jose Mourinho recently referred to this as a “extraordinary” performance.
Moreover, the Spaniard’s phenomenal success at the Bay Arena is all the more remarkable when one considers that he assumed control of Leverkusen in late 2022, when relegation appeared an imminent threat.
“My connection, dedication, and enthusiasm for Liverpool are all present,” Alonso further stated in that conversation with Spanish football expert Guillem Balague, emphasizing a “connection” that caused his name to immediately surface as the frontrunner to succeed Klopp.”Return to Liverpool, why not?” We shall attempt to come into contact.”
Reputable manager confirms departure from Liverpool
There is speculation that Alonso’s contract contains a provision permitting his reunion with the club from which he won the FA Cup and the Champions League in the mid-2000s under the leadership of Rafael Benitez.
However, Leverkusen CEO Fernando Carro denied the existence of such an arrangement in November. However, it must be acknowledged that his remarks offered little indication that the Bundesliga leaders would impede Alonso’s progress.
“Not at all (there is no Liverpool clause),” responded Carro. Conversely, a clause is unnecessary. “Xabi and I have an exceptionally positive rapport, and he is well aware that we are a serious club.”Ultimately, contingent upon an individual’s volition, we shall not compel him to remain. Nothing on paper exists that would sanction Alonso’s return to Anfield. However, agreements that do not appear on paper can also constitute agreements at times.
“It is understood that should he require assistance with a move in the future, we shall remain contactable.”
Klopp is scheduled to depart from Liverpool at the conclusion of the ongoing season.
