One of Xabi Alonso's former teammates has revealed that the ex-Real Madrid star has always dreamt of managing Liverpool
In the constantly evolving world of football management, a sensational move is on the horizon, according to Bastian Schweinsteiger.
The former Manchester United midfielder has made a bold claim about Xabi Alonso's next career move, suggesting that Alonso is set to fulfill his 'dream' by taking over the managerial reins at Liverpool.
Schweinsteiger reveals Xabi Alonso’s next move
Xabi Alonso, currently at the helm of Bayer Leverkusen, has been earmarked as the favorite to succeed Jurgen Klopp, who has announced his departure from Liverpool at the season's end. Despite Liverpool's reported initial contact with Alonso in November about the vacancy, Alonso has maintained a public focus on his responsibilities at Leverkusen. Under his guidance, Leverkusen has seen a formidable unbeaten streak of 30 games and currently leads the Bundesliga, posing a significant challenge to Bayern Munich's dominance.
Bastian Schweinsteiger, sharing insights while serving as a television pundit, revealed his belief in Alonso's aspirations and future plans. "I know him, and I am sure his dream is to coach Liverpool. I am sure he will leave Leverkusen in the summer," Schweinsteiger stated, offering a glimpse into Alonso's ambitions and hinting at an almost certain departure from Leverkusen for the Liverpool job.
Klopp's Hopeful Departure
Jurgen Klopp aims to leave Liverpool on a high note, with the team competing across four fronts. The Reds are set to face Chelsea in the Carabao Cup final at Wembley, with subsequent matches in the FA Cup and Europa League looming.
Klopp's tenure at Liverpool has been marked by significant success with the German manager winning every trophy at least once, and the search for his successor has been a topic of much speculation.
Other Contenders for the Liverpool Job
While Alonso is seen as the frontrunner, other notable names are being considered for the Liverpool managerial position. Among them are Brighton's Roberto De Zerbi, Sporting's Ruben Amorim, and Germany's Julian Nagelsmann. Each candidate brings a unique style and managerial philosophy, but Alonso's deep connection with Liverpool as a former player may give him an edge in the selection process.
The speculation surrounding Xabi Alonso's potential move to Liverpool adds another layer of intrigue to the already dramatic world of football. If Schweinsteiger's insights hold true, Alonso's return to Anfield would mark the beginning of a new chapter for both him and the club, promising a future filled with the same passion and commitment he displayed as a player. As the end of the season approaches, all eyes will be on Liverpool's decision and Alonso's next steps in his managerial career.
