Things are booming for Arne Slots Liverpool this season. On Wednesday came a strong 0-3 win against Roberto de Zerbi’s Marseille, Saturday was followed by a 3-2 loss against Bournemouth in the Premier League. Since Xabi Alonso finished as Real Madrid coach two weeks ago, the English media has described “there is a fire under Slot’s chair”. Now it is reported that Liverpool have made first contact with the original top candidate to take over from Klopp.
The Liverpool management should have the coach who leads the club to success in the long run, like a Jürgen Klopp. If Slot does not convince after the giant investments in new players last summer, it will “burn under his chair”. Or rather, with Alonso available on the market after exiting Real Madrid , it is already burning. According to Spanish AS, Liverpool have made contact with Alonso.

The widely varying results of Liverpool this season, according to the Spanish media, prompted Liverpool management to contact Xabi Alonso to gauge the mood of whether the Liverpool job “is something for him”.
The Liverpool management will probably have to make a decision before the end of the season whether Slot is the right man for the long run. The 44-year-old Xabi Alonso is certainly not going to “take a Zidane”. Alonso is an up-and-coming coach who can pick and choose jobs – and does not need 1-2 years of vacation.
