Xabi Alonso, Roberto De Zerbi or Unai Emery are all potential candidates to succeed Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool when the 2023/24 season ends.
Xabi Alonso
The most notable candidate trusted as owner of the “hot seat” at Anfield is Xabi Alonso. The former Liverpool player has made a splendid impression when he and Bayer Leverkusen maintained an unbeaten streak this season. According to Bild, the contract between Xabi Alonso and Bayer Leverkusen has a provision that the German manager is allowed to leave at the end of the 2023/24 season if there is an offer from Liverpool.
Roberto De Zerbi
In case Liverpool wants to look for an experienced coach in the EPL, De Zerbi could be the top choice. Under De Zerbi’s era, Brighton became one of the most watchable teams in the EPL, with a unique but effective attacking style of play. The Spanish manager also helped the “Seagulls” participate in the European Cup for the first time in the club’s history.
Julian Nagelsmann
If Liverpool wants to work with another German coach, Nagelsmann could be a reasonable choice. The 36-year-old used to be Bayern Munich’s coach, winning one Bundesliga and two German Super Cups. Currently, the contract between Nagelsmann and Germany national team is only valid until the end of Euro 2024. Liverpool is an ideal destination if the German strategist leaves Die Mannschaf.
Ruben Amorim
Ruben Amorim is not a strange name to football fans. The 39-year-old strategist made a name for himself by helping Sporting Lisbon achieve many successes. He is considered one of the most prominent young coaches in Europe today. The Portuguese coach left his mark with the 2020/2021 Primeira Liga championship. Besides Liverpool, Barcelona is also interested in Amorim. The 39-year-old manager’s contract release clause is approximately 13 million euros.
Arne Slot
In the past few days, Arne Slot has emerged as the number one candidate for the position of Liverpool head coach next season. Arne Slot’s contract with Feyenoord is valid until 2026 and does not include a release clause. On the other hand, the 45-year-old coach also expressed his desire to lead Liverpool to the media. Arne Slot has led Feyenoord since 2021, helping this team win one Eredivisie (2022/23) and one KNVB Cup (2023/2024). In addition, Slot helped Feyenoord reach the Europa Conference League final in 2022.
