Liverpool will be aiming to secure a top-class manager for the upcoming season after Jurgen Klopp’s departure. Former Reds midfielder Xabi Alonso has been linked to the vacancy, but there is uncertainty regarding his willingness to leave Bayer Leverkusen for Anfield. To address this, Express Sport explores four other potential candidates if Alonso declines the position, one of which is reportedly admired by Chelsea.
Ruben Amorim, known for his high press tactics at Sporting, has been linked to a Premier League move and has caught the attention of Chelsea. Benfica manager Roger Schmidt, who has experience with Klopp’s working methods, is also considered a potential replacement. Hansi Flick, after leaving the German national team, is seen as a candidate with potential for success, given his previous strong managerial tenure at Bayern Munich.
Lastly, Thomas Frank, who has impressed with Brentford’s performance in the Premier League, is also regarded as an underrated manager with a strong record against top teams. These potential targets present Liverpool with several options to consider in their search for the next manager to lead the team into the upcoming season.
