Liverpool manager Arne Slot has seen his future called into question during the 2025/26 season. On that front, there were calls for Steven Gerrard to be brought back, while there have also been reports of Xabi Alonso returning to Anfield. “I know some names come on the table, I heard about Xabi Alonso – not from him. “Xabi Alonso is a young coach that brings a lot of new things, it’s [from] the Pep [Guardiola] school. He likes to play the way Cesc, Pep play and I think it will be a perfect match between Xabi Alonso and Liverpool.”Will Xabi Alonso be Liverpool manager by the start of the 2026/27 season?
