Next Liverpool manager odds: Ruben Amorim and Roberto De Zerbi close on Xabi Alonso
Ruben Amorim is becoming a possible contender in the competition to take over from Jurgen Klopp as the following head coach of Liverpool.
Xabi Alonso, a former Liverpool player, was widely believed to be the most likely candidate to become the team's new manager when Jurgen Klopp announced his departure in January after being in charge for almost a decade. The assumption was made by many football fans and experts alike.
On Friday night, it was revealed that the Spanish player is now expected to remain with Bayer Leverkusen. This decision is due to the team's great performance, as they are on track to win their first-ever Bundesliga championship. They hold a 10-point lead over Bayern Munich, who are the current champions, with only 10 games left to play this season.
If the decision is made, it would be a significant setback for both Liverpool and Bayern, as the latter team was also considering appointing him after their current manager, Thomas Tuchel, confirmed that he will leave the Allianz Arena in the summer.

We have learned from reliable sources that Liverpool has changed their stance on the possibility of hiring Alonso in the near future. It appears that Alonso intends to stay with BayArena for another season until 2025 when his contract will include a release clause, which he may activate at that time. Therefore, Liverpool does not expect to have the opportunity to hire him in the coming months.
Currently, the bookmakers believe that Alonso has the highest chances of succeeding Klopp. However, it appears that Ruben Amorim is making significant progress in the competition.
According to Fabrizio Romano's report, the manager of Sporting CP (who used to work at Braga) is the top choice for Liverpool's management team. He's currently being considered as a backup option to Alonso, and they're discussing his potential appointment.
Roberto De Zerbi, the Italian coach who took over from Graham Potter at Brighton in September 2022 after leaving Shakhtar Donetsk, has been greatly admired for his impressive performance. He is currently ranked just behind Amorim in terms of odds to take on a new managerial position.
Next up is Julian Nagelsmann, who was fired by Bayern a year ago and was rumored to be a potential hire for teams like Chelsea and Tottenham. However, he ultimately became Germany's coach, replacing Hansi Flick with a contract that ends after the domestic European Championship later this year.
Nagelsmann has been associated with Liverpool and Manchester United lately. The German FA has announced that they are in discussions about prolonging his contract beyond the year 2024.
Pep Lijnders, who is currently an assistant to Klopp, is also a contender in the running for a managerial position in the upcoming summer. This marks his aspirations to begin his own career as a manager.
Ange Postecoglou, the head coach of Tottenham, has already rejected any rumors about him going to Liverpool for the job. On the other hand, it is doubtful that we will see ex-Chelsea manager Tuchel making a comeback to the Premier League due to his rough experience at Bayern.

His full name is Xabier Alonso Olano, and he was born in Tolosa, Gipuzkoa, Spain, on November 25, 1981. Alonso started his professional football career at Real Sociedad, a Basque club where he played in the youth teams and later in the first division.

The blog post dated 9th April talks about Roberto De Zerbi. Roberto De Zerbi is the current coach of Serie A club, Sassuolo. He is an Italian who was born in 1979 in Campania. After his professional playing career as a midfielder, he became a coach. De Zerbi has coached several clubs including Foggia, Benevento, Palermo, and Sassuolo. His coaching style often favors attacking football and emphasizes ball possession. Despite his relatively short coaching career, De Zerbi has earned a reputation for developing young players and achieving positive results with modest teams. For instance, he led Benevento to its first-ever promotion to Serie A in 2017. Sassuolo, under De Zerbi's leadership, has been performing well in the ongoing 2020-21 season. His team is currently in the top half of the standings and has played some exciting football.

The blog post dated 14/1 discusses the coach Julian Nagelsmann.
The odds of Ange Postecoglou becoming the next manager of Celtic Football Club are currently 14 to 1.
Our latest blog post is about Thomas Tuchel and his odds of winning the Premier League. According to bookmakers, Tuchel has a 16/1 chance of achieving this feat. In the world of sports betting, odds are assigned to each player or team based on their likelihood of winning a specific event. In this case, Tuchel's odds indicate that he is not the favorite, but he still has a realistic chance of claiming the Premier League trophy. Tuchel took over as the head coach of Chelsea in January 2021 and has since made a significant impact on the team's performance. Under his leadership, Chelsea won the Champions League for the second time in their history. This achievement has given fans hope that their team can challenge for domestic titles in the upcoming season. Despite the hype surrounding Tuchel and his success at Chelsea so far, bookmakers still favor Manchester City and Liverpool to win the Premier League. However, if Tuchel can continue to make smart tactical decisions and inspire his team to victory, anything is possible. It will be interesting to see how the Premier League plays out this season and whether Thomas Tuchel can defy the odds and lead Chelsea to the title.
On January 16th, Pep Lijnders made an appearance in the blog section.
