Klopp hails Xabi Alonso as leading successor amid Liverpool managerial speculation

Posted : 17 February 2024

Jurgen Klopp has praised Xabi Alonso as the "standout" manager among the new generation of coaches and a leading candidate to replace him at Liverpool.

 

Alonso, currently managing Bayer Leverkusen, has guided them to the top of the Bundesliga with a five-point lead and is one game away from matching Bayern Munich's all-time German record of 32 games unbeaten.

 

Klopp commended Alonso's exceptional work, noting his football philosophy, team setups, and impressive transfers, making him a standout among the emerging coaching talents.

 

Alonso, a former Liverpool midfielder, has been viewed as a potential successor to Klopp since the latter announced his departure. Klopp emphasized Alonso's remarkable coaching abilities, highlighting his footballing background, early coaching experience during his playing career, and the exceptional way he has shaped Leverkusen's playing style.

 

Despite the ongoing speculation linking Alonso to Liverpool, Klopp praised the former world-class player's managerial achievements, noting Leverkusen's strong chances in both the Bundesliga and Europa League this season.

 

While Klopp maintained he wouldn't influence the choice of his successor, his enthusiastic endorsement is likely to bolster Alonso's prospects.

 

The Spanish manager, in his first senior managerial role, has already achieved notable success, leading Leverkusen to a significant victory over Bayern Munich and the top of the Bundesliga.

 

Despite the Liverpool speculation, Alonso remains focused on Leverkusen's upcoming matches and the ongoing success of the team this season.
