Premier League legend Alan Shearer has weighed in on Liverpool’s search for their next manager.
After Jurgen Klopp’s announcement of his departure from Liverpool after nine successful years, speculation has been rife regarding his successor. Names like Xabi Alonso, Roberto De Zerbi, and Thomas Frank have been thrown into the mix, with media reports particularly highlighting Alonso’s potential return to Anfield.
In a Q&A session on The Athletic, Shearer shared his thoughts, expressing a preference for Alonso to take the reins at Liverpool. He noted Alonso’s impressive managerial stint at Bayer Leverkusen this season, suggesting that the former Liverpool midfielder would have his pick of top jobs, given his current success.
