Looks like the managerial musical chairs just got a plot twist! 🎶 Liverpool and Bayern Munich, both eyeing Leverkusen's boss Xabi Alonso, have reportedly thrown in the towel. 🏳️
According to ESPN on Thursday, Liverpool CEO Michael Edwards has shifted gears, now considering Brighton's Roberto De Zerbi and Sporting CP's Ruben Amorim as top contenders to fill the shoes of Jurgen Klopp. Klopp, who's been rocking the Anfield touchline for nine seasons, announced last November his plans to step down after the 2023-24 campaign.
Klopp's legacy? Only leading the Reds to their first English top-flight title in the Premier League era, snagging a UEFA Champions League trophy, an FA Cup, and more bling for the cabinet. 🏆✨ Right now, Liverpool sits pretty in second place on the Premier League table with 64 points, neck and neck with leaders Arsenal, who edge ahead on goal difference. Plus, they're cruising in the UEFA Europa League quarterfinals. ⚽️🔥
