Liverpool’s quest for a fresh manager is firmly underway, and among their targets is one who is set to depart from his current club at the season’s end.
Jurgen Klopp rocked the footballing world with his announcement last month of his imminent departure from Anfield after an immensely successful nine-year tenure on Merseyside.
This revelation has thrust the Liverpool hierarchy into an unexpected search for a new manager, with Brighton’s Roberto De Zerbi emerging as a contender on their radar.
Per the Daily Mail’s Tom Collomosse, the Premier League club is bracing for the departure of the Italian, indicating that if Liverpool were to approach the 44-year-old, they stand a strong chance of securing their next managerial appointment.
Bayer Leverkusen’s Xabi Alonso is emerging as the frontrunner to succeed Klopp at Liverpool, owing to his history at Anfield. However, the Spanish coach is highly sought after, and should he secure the Bundesliga title and other accolades this season, he could opt to remain at the BayArena.
De Zerbi is another contender garnering interest, and he could be an excellent fit for Liverpool. With prior experience in the Premier League and a personality suited to following in Klopp’s footsteps, the Italian presents a compelling option.
Despite the speculation, the process of appointing a new manager for the Reds is still in its early stages. Nonetheless, indications suggest that the Brighton manager is within reach as a potential target.
