Noted pundit and Thomas Müller’s favorite football commentator, Didi Hamann, thinks Xabi Alonso could end up leading Liverpool FC next season.
“Xabi Alonso has got a special relationship with Liverpool and he’s only just been sacked by Real Madrid. I’m not sure he wants to jump straight into the next job. If Alonso contemplates coming to Liverpool, I think he’d prefer to come in the summer. I don’t think there’ll be an issue there,“ Hamann told Casino Beats. “For Slot, once the reports are out there that
talks with Alonso are happening, it’s obviously not good for him. The whole club seems to be a bit disillusioned to me. How much is it his fault? I do not know but I think it’s a situation that isn’t sustainable for long.
“Liverpool want to achieve things. They spent all that money. They won the league. Everybody was hoping they would give it a good go again to win the Premier League and maybe win the Champions League but at the moment they probably only have a good chance to finish in the top four or five. The team lacks physicality and is not suited to the Premier League. I think that’s been shown because some of the best performances have been in the Champions League. I still think that they are a runner in the Champions League but as I said, the situation with the manager is one we will have to wait on to see what happens in the next few weeks.
“At the moment, I think there’s a good chance that Liverpool will have a new manager next season.”
Alonso’s run at Real Madrid was doomed from the start given the clash of his style vs. that locker room’s. Could his career be revived at Liverpool? We might not have to wait too long to find out.
