Liverpool interrompe la ricerca di Xabi Alonso, la caccia del manager ridotta a due scelte | Calcio

Xabi Alonso has decided to stay at Bayer Leverkusen for one more season, ending Liverpool’s pursuit of him as their next manager. Liverpool’s shortlist has now been narrowed down to two other targets.

Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi is now the frontrunner to succeed Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool. De Zerbi’s attacking style of football has impressed Liverpool’s decision-makers, and they will have a chance to observe him closely when Brighton play at Anfield this Sunday. Sporting Lisbon boss Ruben Amorim is also in the running, with his success in rebuilding the team and leading them to the top of the Portuguese league.

Alonso is rumored to have his sights set on the Real Madrid job in the future, while Bayern Munich’s interest in him has been downplayed. Liverpool’s new manager is likely to be either De Zerbi or Amorim, as Alonso looks set to remain at Bayer Leverkusen for the time being.
