Liverpool contacted Xabi Alonso where they offered him the position of coach for the next season in November. The talks started immediately after the Reds coach Jurgen Klop communicated to the managers that he had decided to leave the job after 8 and a half years.
A few weeks ago, the German told the fans through a video message that he had decided to leave “Anfield Road”, as they were draining his energies.
This statement of his brought a lot of surprise and sadness to the English club, which started work to find his replacement. According to the French from “Foot Mercato”, Liverpool believe they will convince one of the figures who has been part of the team’s history.
Xabi Alonso played for the Reds from 2004-2009 and was part of the team that won the Champions League in 2005. But the club know it will not be easy to pry the Spaniard away from Bayer Leverkusen, with the team is having a pretty good season in the Bundesliga.
After 20 meetings in the championship, the team leads with 2 points more than Munich, while it has won 16 of them. The German managers, although they know about the interest of the reds, believe that the coach will not leave, as he is planning the team for the next season.
