Xabi Alonso is under increasing pressure at Real Madrid, and there is apparently growing dissatisfaction in the locker room as some senior players start to doubt his tactics. Alonso’s future in the Spanish capital is currently in doubt, despite an outstanding start to his management career and his reputation as a club hero.
Rumours from both Spain and England indicate that Liverpool may soon be calling. According to a reliable source on X, Alonso, who was once a fan favourite at Anfield during his playing days, is prepared to take over as Liverpool’s manager should the chance present itself. At the Merseyside club, where his intellect, composure, and leadership as a player made a lasting effect, his name still has a lot of resonance.
Alonso is thought to have long been revered by Michael Edwards, the CEO of Liverpool and one of the masterminds behind the team’s recent comeback. Before the German left, he allegedly thought the Spaniard would be the perfect replacement for Jürgen Klopp. But following his success at Bayer Leverkusen, Alonso decided to accept the Real Madrid position at the time because he saw it as a logical next step in his managing career.
Xabi Alonso was well-liked inside Anfield
Prior to Slot’s hiring, Xabi Alonso was one of the names mentioned as a possible Klopp replacement. Biscan thinks his old coworker may become an Anfield manager in the future. “Xabi Alonso as the manager of Liverpool? He stated, “I believe that’s always a possibility if he keeps doing what he’s doing, is successful, and makes a difference.”
“His teams are constantly doing exceptionally well, have a well-defined structure, and are consistently of high quality. With a manager like him, who wouldn’t want one? Arne Slot, the current manager of Liverpool, is under tremendous pressure after a run of subpar results. The Reds are now wallowing below the top half of the Premier League standings due to a sharp decline in their play in recent weeks.
According to reports, Slot has been given until January to make amends—a critical window that might decide his career. There is increasing speculation that Alonso would make an incredible Premier League comeback, this time as a manager, if Liverpool’s problems continue.
