The Managerial Drama at Liverpool
As Jurgen Klopp announced in January that he would part ways with Liverpool by the end of the season, the footballing world suffered a major shock.
But the Reds fans and the management are in bigger distress as the vacant manager role needs to be filled in immediately and effectively.
The task of appointing someone who will replicate or at least build upon the majestic success of Klopp is quite daunting. But the club is looking good so far in executing this tough job.
The Merseyside giants have identified Xabi Alonso as one of the top candidates to replace the German.
However, a recent report has suggested that the Spaniard has ruled himself out as the frontrunner for the Liverpool job. So, the task of finding the perfect match has become even more complicated.
Although Alonso is not completely out of the equation, the task of convincing him would be difficult.
An ardent football fan and a proud Red. I take immense pleasure in analyzing the intricacies of the game.
