According to journalist Wilson Cox (LFC), Xabi Alonso is now Liverpool’s top priority to succeed Arne Slot in the summer of 2026. And what if Xabi Alonso did not stay without a job for long? Having just been dismissed by Real Madrid, the Spanish coach is reportedly in talks… with Liverpool, his former club.
Internally, sporting CEO Michael Edwards is said to be strongly pushing for the Spaniard, impressed by his style of play: an intense, possession-based and clearly attacking brand of football that Alonso has brought to perfection at Bayer Leverkusen. But that is not all: his ability to build a strong bond with players and supporters is also highly valued at Anfield.
Liverpool’s ideal profile for a new era
The work done in Germany has won universal praise: a Bundesliga title without a single defeat, fluid tactical systems in 3-4-2-1 and 3-4-3, successful integration of young players, and a winning mentality in big matches. All of these elements perfectly match Liverpool’s vision for their next cycle.
Still according to Wilson Cox, Xabi Alonso is the clear favorite on the shortlist, and the Reds would be ready to move decisively next summer.
A return of the former midfielder to Anfield, this time on the bench, is increasingly shaping up as the most credible… and the most exciting scenario.
