Liverpool’s search for a successor to Jurgen Klopp has begun to select a leader who can take charge of the new era, with Xabi Alonso, who is in charge at Bayer Leverkusen, the top priority, and a list that includes Ruben Amorim and Julian Nagelsmann.
Among the candidates is Roberto De Zerbi, who will lead Brighton. He pushed the club to sixth place in the Premier League last season, is highly regarded for his style of play and the way he uses young players, is a motivator for the players and supporters, and could step up soon.
Bayern Munich, who are in a battle with Liverpool for Xabi Alonso, are also interested in the Italian coach. German newspaper Bild’s Christian Falk reported that the club’s Max Eberl has made contact, but said that the Spanish captain is the first choice for the German champions.

At the moment, there are only the above four candidates for Liverpool’s director. Nevertheless, there are other free and experienced coaches, and there are also promising candidates for great general managers.
The German coach has brought the Anfield team to a strong position, but will they be able to compete for the top position under the next coach?
