According to recent reports, former Liverpool player Xabi Alonso has been making significant strides as the manager of Bayer Leverkusen. In his debut season as a senior club manager, the Spaniard has achieved impressive stats and has caught the attention of Liverpool, who are keen on bringing him back to Anfield.
However, despite this interest, Alonso has decided to remain at BayArena, where he has served as a manager for less than two years. He reportedly wishes to repay the faith shown in him by the Bayer Leverkusen management and continue his efforts to lead the team to further success.

Liverpool’s manager shortlist to replace Jurgen Klopp
Liverpool FC has been left searching for a new manager after Xabi Alonso decided to stay at Bayer Leverkusen. Despite their initial hopes of appointing Alonso, the club is now exploring other options to replace Jurgen Klopp. Among the potential candidates are Roberto de Zerbi, the current manager of Brighton, and Ruben Amorim, the current manager of Sporting CP.
Liverpool is carefully considering each option to ensure that they find the perfect fit for their team.
🚨🇪🇸 Liverpool won’t wait anymore for Xabi Alonso — as Ruben Amorim will be an option already discussed internally, not the only one.

Despite this, neither Xabi Alonso nor officials from Bayer Leverkusen, where Alonso is currently appointed, have made any official statements regarding the manager’s future. Liverpool, being a big-name club, still has the potential to sway Alonso to lead their side at Anfield.
Will Alonso get swayed by that big club influence? Or will he repay the faith that Bayer Leverkusen has shown in him? Make sure to tell us in the comments.
