The ongoing speculation surrounding the next manager of Liverpool continues to dominate the headlines. With the recent news of Thomas Tuchel’s departure from Bayern Munich, it remains uncertain how this development could impact the club’s pursuit of Xabi Alonso.
Alonso has long been considered a strong contender to succeed Jurgen Klopp at Anfield when the time comes for the German tactician to step down at the end of the season. Currently, bookmakers still view the Spanish tactician and former Liverpool midfielder as the frontrunner for the managerial position.
However, reports have emerged suggesting that Bayern Munich also have their sights set on Alonso as a potential replacement for Tuchel in the upcoming summer. This could potentially complicate matters for Liverpool, as they may now have to seriously consider Tuchel as a viable candidate for the role.
Another name that has been mentioned in relation to the Liverpool managerial vacancy is club legend Steven Gerrard. However, it is unlikely that his recent spells at Al Ettifaq and Aston Villa have done enough to impress the decision-makers at Anfield, despite his status as one of the greatest players in the club’s history.
