LFC REINFORCEMENTS 2024  Xabi Alonso, Dream of Coaching Liverpool One Day.

Bastian Schweinsteiger believes that Xabi Alonso is keen to become Liverpool’s next coach.

The Reds are looking for a successor to Jurgen Klopp, who surprisingly announced in January that he will depart Liverpool at the end of the current campaign. Whoever comes in to replace the German has some massive shoes to fill and there aren’t many out there who seem ready for this challenge.

Transfer Talk Predictions: Ones to…

One of the favourites to replace Klopp is beloved former Reds star Xabi Alonso. The Spaniard is doing a brilliant job with Bayer Leverkusen, sitting top of the Bundesliga and masterminding a victory over a very good Stuttgart side in the DFB-Pokal quarter-final on Tuesday to keep up his club’s invincible record this season.

His impressive record since taking over a relegation-battling Werkself last season has not only piqued the interest of Liverpool, with Chelsea reportedly lining the 42-year-old up to replace Mauricio Pochettino should he fail to turn the Blues’ fortunes around. However, according to his former teammate Bastian Schweinsteiger, Alonso has his heart set on leading the Reds.
