“You never know”: Elite coach leaves possibility of Liverpool switch open

Xabi Alonso has emerged as a potential candidate for Liverpool, as doubts continue to swirl over Arne Slot’s future at the club.

Liverpool are currently experiencing a difficult spell, struggling in both the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League. As a result, there has been growing speculation that the Dutch coach could soon be dismissed.

The key question is whether Liverpool will show patience and allow Slot more time. If they opt for a change, Alonso could be a strong contender. He was previously linked with a move to Liverpool before taking up his role at Real Madrid.

Meanwhile, Alonso’s start at Real Madrid has been inconsistent. It will be interesting to see whether Liverpool might offer him a future opportunity to return to England.

He acknowledged his connection with the club but said he is currently content at Real Madrid. Still, he didn’t completely dismiss the idea of moving to Liverpool one day.

Could Liverpool part ways with Arne Slot?
Only time will tell how this situation unfolds. Liverpool possess a talented squad, yet they have failed to deliver consistently. After investing heavily in the summer transfer window, expectations were high for them to compete for major trophies.

However, Slot has struggled to maximize the potential of his new signings, and Liverpool’s performances have been underwhelming. A managerial change would not come as a shock. A club of Liverpool’s stature should be performing much better, and Slot will need to improve results quickly if he hopes to keep his position.
