"Liverpool are working on plans to replace struggling manager Arne Slot after a disappointing season. Having spent a massive amount on new signings last summer, Slot has struggled to keep the club competitive at the top level. Since October, Liverpool have struggled to keep up pace with Arsenal and Manchester City at the top of the Premier League standings. Although their performances have been impressive in the Champions League, they have failed to have the same impact in the Premier League."
"Although nothing is decided at the moment, according to Fichajes, the Reds are interested in appointing Spanish manager Xabi Alonso as the next leader of the club. Alonso was recently sacked by Real Madrid and despite his tough spell in Spain, he is still highly rated for his impressive work with Bayer Leverkusen where he ended the dominance of Bayern Munich."
"It won't be straightforward for the Reds though since Manchester City are expected to be in the race to appoint Alonso as Pep Guardiola's successor. Guardiola's future at the Etihad Stadium is uncertain and a report has claimed that he is on the shortlist of Man City to replace the legendary manager. Former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has praised Alonso in the past, calling him exceptional."
Liverpool are planning a managerial change after a disappointing season under Arne Slot following heavy summer spending that failed to sustain top-level competitiveness. The team has fallen behind Arsenal and Manchester City in the Premier League since October despite stronger displays in the Champions League. New signings including Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz have not fully met expectations, with Hugo Ekitike a possible exception. Xabi Alonso has emerged as a target due to his tactical reputation and success with Bayer Leverkusen, though Manchester City are also expected to pursue him as a successor to Pep Guardiola.
