    Alonso is good but he is no Imanol! I really don’t think La Real would change him for any coach in the world

      I didn’t mean it in the way that he would go there, the point was just that RSO is also a former club not mentioned in the article (and contract?) like SD Eibar

    We only had one good attacker. Vinicius became a great player when he left. Would not call it a massive failure. He won a league title.

          Years of mediocrity, falling out with sections of the fans for extended periods of time, poor transfers, lack of CL, stagnating methods and staff appointments, couldn’t win a game away from home…it was time to go sadly.

              Did I say we went forward or did I just list some of the reasons why he left (because he wasn’t sacked).

                I don’t think Tuchel will last till next summer at Bayern, so I fully expect Alonso to join Bayern.

              He went on to work for FIFA on football policies, but as far as coaching is concerned he’s basically retired (not officially but he’s 73 and seems to be enjoying his life so I think coming back out to coach isn’t on his agenda).

    I honestly hope Pep Lijnders takes over for Klopp when Klopp leaves. He’s earned it and would be the perfect person to carry on the good work Klopp started and maintain the continuity and clarity in purpose, team building, and man management already in place, but he’d also bring a fresh energy and some new ideas.

    I really do think that management transition at Liverpool could parallel that if the switch from Bill Shankly to Bob Paisley, if not in exact trophy count but at least in sustained success season over season.

    But if not Pep Lijnders, then Xabi Alonso is my very next preferred choice to take over after Klopp.

      I don’t think you guys have it in you to sack him. And that’s understandable. So Klopp is Liverpool manager until he decides he no longer is

          Solskjaer’s initial few months at United was very good right until it wasn’t.

          They were only struggling because their former coach was proper garbage. Definitely not a bad job Xabi Alonso is doing, but the hype is too much imo.

                  Lmao yeah, Wenger at least got top 4 every season. It took Arsenal almost a decade to find their form again.

    Fucking hell. We are rotating Carlo and Zizou since 2013 like there’s no other manager. I love Zizou and would love to have him back but it’d be a nice change if we get someone else.

    Gerrard had the massive fortune of Celtic absolutely collapsing after Rodger’s left mid season and gave the job to Neil Lennon. Won less trophies that season than St Johnstone did. His success in Scotland is massively overstated, almost everyone here thinks of his time here as a failure with a bright spot. While being near penniless, he managed to bring on a shit load of debt while raising the playing wage budget greater than celtics. Rangers are suffering for it now.
