Jamie Carragher believes Xabi Alonso would eagerly return to Liverpool if given the chance. With pressure mounting on current coach Arne Slot, could Alonso be the answer for the Reds?
Jamie Carragher has made it clear: Xabi Alonso would love to manage Liverpool. Speaking on Sky Sports' Monday Night Football, the former Reds midfielder expressed that Alonso would jump at the opportunity to return to Anfield, provided the club showed genuine interest.
As the pressure builds on Arne Slot, Alonso's name has surfaced as a potential successor. However, reports suggest that Fenway Sports Group (FSG) is inclined to stick with Slot for now. Meanwhile, Alonso is reportedly in talks with Chelsea, who are searching for a new manager after parting ways with Liam Rosenior.
Carragher noted, "I think he would love to manage Liverpool one day, I’m sure he would, but Chelsea is one of the biggest clubs in European football right now." He added that many Liverpool fans feel a connection to Alonso and believe he would return if the club reached out.
The situation is tense. If Carragher's instincts are correct, the thought of Alonso managing Chelsea could sting for Liverpool supporters who are losing faith in Slot. Alonso's emotional ties to Liverpool are strong, but he won't wait forever if FSG seems set on maintaining the current status quo.
The next few weeks could be pivotal for both Liverpool and Alonso. Will the Reds make a move, or will they let a potential managerial gem slip away to a rival? Worth watching how this develops.
