Xabi Alonso, the perfect replacement for Klopp at Liverpool

Appointed in October 2015 to the reserve bench of “Liverpool”, Jurgen Klopp announced that he will leave “Anfield” at the end of the current season.

The 56-year-old German coach said he wanted a new challenge after winning everything he could with Liverpool: the Premier League, FA Cup, FA League Cup, FA Super Cup, Champions League, UEFA Super Cup and Club World Cup .

In an interview given a few days ago, the current coach of the “Cormorants” also revealed who is the ideal replacement for him in Liverpool: Xabi Alonso.

Former Anfield midfielder Alonso has been doing an outstanding job in the Bundesliga, remaining unbeaten off the bench at Bayer Leverkusen this season and maintaining an 8-point lead over champions Bayern Munich.

“Xabi Alonso, exceptional. He does a great job and I’m not saying that because I’m leaving Liverpool.

And if you had asked me eight weeks ago about Xabi Alonso, I would have said: God!

The new generation is here. I would say Alonso is the right person, he’s great.” Jurgen Klopp concluded.
