Xabi Alonso, Ruben Amorim, and Julian Nagelsmann are among the candidates to succeed Jurgen Klopp, who announced his retirement mid-season, and Robert De Zerbi, who currently leads Brighton.

“I don’t have a problem with that, I like the way he plays the game,”
“He is going to inherit players who want to play and have been successful at playing not unlike the way he likes to play the game.”
“So, from that point of view, I think it makes complete sense.”

This season, mainstays such as Japanese national team winger Kaoru Mitoma and English midfielder Solomon March were out for a long time due to injury.
