After PSG’s loss in the Champions League, it didn’t take many days before Arne Slot stated: “Our future is bright”. Before Sunday’s Merseyside derby against Everton, there was little doubt that the Dutchman was confident that he is the one who will lead Liverpool next season as well. Xabi Alonso, impatient to step into the next coaching job, has always been a factor that has created uncertainty about Slot’s future at Anfield. Now Xabi Alonso is not even the coach Liverpool will be brought in if Slot is dumped.
The Athletics David Ornstein has over the past month declared Slot safe, even with the former first choice to replace Klopp, Xabi Alonso, available on the market. According to the journalist, Alonso is actually not the first choice in a potential coaching change either.

-As I mentioned in yesterday’s podcast, I am not aware that Alonso is on Liverpool’s agenda. People may not like to hear it, and if I’m wrong, you can all laugh at me – but I can only pass on the information I pick up and confirm at a given time,” Ornstein begins.
-Their intention is to continue with Slot (of course, if things completely unravel, we could have another conversation), and even if a change were to be made (Slot is only under contract until 2027, and there don’t seem to be any talks about an extension yet), I have no information to suggest that Alonso would be in line to replace him, comes from the English journalist.
Wow.
