"Liverpool have reportedly reached an agreement with Xabi Alonso to become their next manager, though Arne Slot could still save his job at Anfield. A report in Madrid-based publication Okdiario claims the Reds have reached a verbal agreement on a three-year deal with Alonso, which they will press ahead with unless Slot guides the club to glory in the Champions League."
"Alonso was hugely successful as Bayer Leverkusen boss, but his brief spell in charge of Real Madrid came to an end in January following their defeat to Barcelona in the Supercopa de Espana. The 44-year-old remains hugely popular on Merseyside, having tasted FA Cup and Champions League glory with Liverpool as a player prior to leaving to join Madrid."
"Slot enjoyed a sensational start to life in English football as Liverpool cantered to the Premier League title in his first season at the club. However, there were signs of vulnerability in that title-winning side as they finished the 2024-25 campaign poorly after clinching the trophy. The Premier League was their sole trophy from a season that once had Liverpool dreaming of a quadruple."
Liverpool have reportedly reached a verbal agreement with Xabi Alonso for a three-year managerial contract, which will proceed unless current manager Arne Slot secures Champions League glory. Alonso, 44, recently departed Real Madrid following their Supercopa de Espana defeat to Barcelona in January. The former Liverpool player achieved significant success at Bayer Leverkusen before his brief Madrid stint. Alonso remains popular with Liverpool supporters due to his playing achievements with the club, including FA Cup and Champions League titles. Slot's position has become precarious following a disappointing second season, despite winning the Premier League in his first year. Liverpool won only the Premier League title this season, exiting the Champions League in the last 16 to Paris Saint-Germain, losing the EFL Cup final to Newcastle, and being eliminated from the FA Cup by Plymouth Argyle.
