Report: Club now very worried their 'special' manager will leave after he's linked with the Liverpool job

8 months ago 123

One club are now increasingly fearful that their manager may want to leave after links with replacing Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool.

Following the appointment of Michael Edwards as CEO of football it’s clear that Liverpool are diligently preparing for their success to continue in the future.

Richard Hughes seems likely to follow Edwards to the club, and it certainly wouldn’t be a surprise if the appointment was announced soon.

Klopp may be leaving, but Liverpool are doing everything in their power to ensure that his legacy of success will remain.

That being said, all of these decisions are gearing up for the appointment of a new manager to replace Klopp.

Xabi Alonso remains the fan favourite at least, but it remains to be seen what kind of influence Bayern Munich will have on that deal.

All that considered, it appears that Roberto De Zerbi is one the most promising alternatives.

And given a new report by The Times, it seems Brighton & Hove Albion are now very worried their ‘special’ manager could leave in the summer.

The information shares that De Zerbi has cut a frustrated figure around the club of late, a manager being considered by both Liverpool and Chelsea.

Barcelona also have strong relationships with his representative, fueling speculation that a move could materialise there too.

And judging by De Zerbi’s words before Brigthon’s second leg against Roma today, it’s clear that not all is well.

He said: “I have a lot of room for personal improvement, because working in difficulties strengthens you.

“I don’t know, I have a contract here, I am on good terms with everyone — the players, the president and those working at the club.

“The competition we play won’t make me change my mind. Possibly other things will.”

Therefore, if Liverpool are seriously considering replacing Jurgen Klopp with Roberto De Zerbi, then there’s certainly cause for encouragement.

De Zerbi’s Brighton side may be a little inconsistent, but there’s plenty of reason to think he could lead an exciting project at a top club.

All that being said, one young Liverpool player has now said that he wants to stay at the club for another 15 years, meaning he’ll probably see a fair few managers come and go.
