Alonso is the leading candidate to replace Slot at Liverpool. |
Liverpool are quietly building up backup options for the manager position, amid Arne Slot's disappointing run of results this season. The 2-3 defeat against Bournemouth on January 25th marked the seventh loss for the reigning Premier League champions.
Slot made a strong impression in his first season as Jurgen Klopp's successor. However, this season has seen a prolonged struggle, despite significant investment in the squad. The performance hasn't matched the spending, forcing the management to consider the future.
Alonso has emerged as both an iconic and a professionally competent choice. Despite spending only seven months with Real Madrid, the 44-year-old strategist is highly regarded for his Bundesliga title win with Bayer Leverkusen. AS reports that Liverpool have contacted Alonso early to explore a potential collaboration, with a vision for the 2026/27 season.
Alonso is reportedly open to attractive offers and believes he will always be welcome at Anfield. Initial talks with Alonso's agent have been described as positive, offering some reassurance to "The Kop" should they part ways with Slot.
No decision has been made at Anfield yet. But the appearance of Alonso's name at this sensitive time is clear evidence that Liverpool are preparing for a change on the coaching bench.
