Xabi Alonso is currently considered the most likely candidate to take the Anfield hot seat this summer, according to bookmaker The Independent.Guillem Balague explained, however, that at this stage the opinions of the betting houses must be taken with a grain of salt.
“But Liverpool are not the only club coveting one of the most popular managers at the moment,” wrote a BBC sports columnist.“Real Madrid, Bayern Munich (both have performed well) and even Manchester City, whose manager Pep Guardiola may not be able to extend his career until next season, will be watching closely.
“And while the bookies are offering stingy odds that make it look like a bargain, the only certainty is that Alonso will be the only one to strike.”Merseyside are tracking a number of potential suitors, with Tottenham’s Ange Postecoglou, Sporting Lisbon’s Ruben Amorim and Brighton’s Roberto De Zerbi all on the shortlist.
