Next Liverpool Manager Odds: Xabi Alonso Leads Contenders to Replace Jurgen Klopp

The recent announcement made by Jurgen Klopp regarding his forthcoming departure from Liverpool at the end of the current season has generated a considerable amount of buzz and speculation within the sports industry. In light of this development, much attention is being directed towards who could be Klopp's next successor.

The betting market for the next Liverpool manager is gaining momentum, with the potential return of the iconic legend from the club. Here, we will provide the top 10 coaches, their betting odds on Bet365, and our predictions.

We consider Xabi Alonso to be the next potential future manager to take over in the summer from Jurgen Klopp. Xabi had an outstanding playing career during his time at Liverpool; he helped lead the team to victory in the FA Cup and Champions League, after which he moved on to Real Madrid.

Alonso took on his first major managerial role with Bayer Leverkusen in October 2022. His performances at Bayer Leverkusen since his appointment have been superb. The Liverpool legend currently holds a 33-match unbeaten record across all competitions, with Bayern Leverkusen remaining in the top spot of the 2023-24 Bundesliga table, leading reigning champions Bayern Munich with eight points.

Ruben Amorim's excellent record with the Portuguese club Sporting CP has made him the second-favorite contender for the Liverpool managerial position according to Bet 365 betting odds. In the 2020–21 season, he led Sporting to the Primeira Liga title, and they finished as runners-up in the following term. Amorim also took his team to the round of 16 in the 2021/22 Champions League before losing to Manchester City. His managerial profile has attracted interest from several of Europe’s top clubs.

Roberto De Zerbi has surpassed expectations as Brighton's manager after succeeding Graham Potter. The Italians guided the Seagulls to a sixth-place finish at the end of last season's Premier League campaign, booking their spot in the Europa League. His team has had an impressive season so far, qualifying for the knockout stages of their first-ever European competition and aiming to finish in the top six of the domestic league.

De Zerbi's Brighton team played a high-pressing, attacking style of football that could fit well with Liverpool.

Liverpool's interest in other coaches in the summer is clear, but Xabi Alonso remains their top priority, and many of their supporting fans will be happy to see the return of the club legend.
