Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool’s manager, has publicly praised Xabi Alonso as a top contender to succeed him at Anfield, despite having no official influence in the hiring process. Alonso’s successful coaching of Bayer Leverkusen, currently undefeated in the Bundesliga and performing well in European competitions, has caught Klopp’s attention.

Alonso’s possible appointment at Liverpool is a subject of speculation, but factors such as the promotion of a sporting director, potential competition from Bayern Munich, and Alonso’s commitment to Bayer Leverkusen for one more season remain uncertain. Klopp’s comprehensive endorsement of Alonso signals a potential generational shift in management, with Klopp and other long-tenured managers like Guardiola, Mourinho, and Pep Guardiola nearing the end of their tenures.
