Five Contenders to Replace Jurgen Klopp as Liverpool Manager

Xabi Alonso

Former Liverpool midfielder Xabi Alonso is the favorite to replace Jurgen Klopp. Alonso has enjoyed success as the manager of Bayer Leverkusen, guiding them to a sixth-placed finish and Europa League football last season. Leverkusen has a clause in his contract that allows him to leave if Liverpool comes calling.

Roberto De Zerbi

Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi has been a revelation since taking charge in 2022. The Italian led Brighton to a sixth-place finish last season, just five points behind Liverpool. While Brighton will fight to keep him, they may be powerless to prevent him from joining the Merseyside club if he expresses a desire to leave.

Jose Mourinho

Former Chelsea and Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho is currently a free agent after being sacked by Roma. Despite a fiery history with Liverpool, Mourinho could be the perfect big-name manager to replace Klopp. However, Liverpool may face competition from the Saudi Pro League side Al-Shabab, who are rumored to be in talks with Mourinho.

Unai Emery

Aston Villa manager Unai Emery has bounced back from a difficult spell with Arsenal. Emery guided Villa to a seventh-placed finish last season and has them currently sitting fourth in the Premier League table. Emery's exciting style of football could be a good fit for Liverpool.

Steven Gerrard

Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard has long been tipped as a future manager of the club. While his time at Aston Villa may have dampened expectations, Gerrard's immense standing with Liverpool fans could see him return to Anfield. He recently signed a new contract with Saudi Pro League club Al-Ettifaq, but stranger things have happened in football.
