135 Jamie O’Hara has named the manager he thinks would be the perfect replacement for Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool.
Klopp announced last week that he will step down as the Liverpool manager at the end of the season.
So, what has Jamie O’Hara said about Liverpool? Let’s take a look.
Xabi Alonso is the ‘perfect’ replacement for Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool
Well, Jurgen Klopp has decided to leave Liverpool. The German coach announced last week that he will step down as the manager of the former Premier League and UEFA Champions League winners at the end of the season.
Liverpool are already looking at potential successors to Klopp. Journalist Dean Jones has reported in SportsLens that Bayer Leverkusen manager Xabi Alonso is the early favourite.
Germany manager Julian Nagelsmann and Brighton and Hove Albion boss Roberto De Zerbi are also in the frame.
Former Tottenham Hotspur player Jamie O’Hara has said Alonso would be the perfect manager for Liverpool, noting that he is a former player of the Merseyside club.
O’Hara said on talkSPORT about Alonso to Liverpool rumour: “The perfect scenario for me or the perfect replacement, I think, right now would be Xabi Alonso.
“The only issue he is going to have – and he has done an amazing job at Bayer Leverkusen, he has been a brilliant Liverpool player, he has been also been a brilliant Real Madrid player, and I think he is going to end up being their manager at some point – you are going after Jurgen Klopp.
“You see it after Sir Alex, after big managers leave, the next manager in struggles because it is a bit of a comedown, isn’t it?”
Xabi Alonso a rising managerial star
Xabi Alonso is doing a wonderful job as the manager of Bayer Leverkusen.
Bayern Munich are the dominant force in German football and win the Bundesliga title season after season.
So, for Bayer to potentially clinch the Bundesliga title this season would be massive.
Bayer are two points clear of second-placed Bayern at the top of the Bundesliga table at the moment. Die Schwarzroten are still unbeaten in the league.
Bayer have scored 50 league goals and have conceded 14 goals. It shows that Alonso’s team are very good going on the attack and are mean defensively.
While it is great to celebrate what Alonso is doing right now, I have to point out that the 42-year-old is only just starting his managerial career. The pressure at Bayer is very different to what he would expect at Liverpool.
