Albert Riera as Liverpool manager – A Possibility
Fabrizio Romano recently confirmed that Albert Riera, the ex-fullback, has finalized a deal to become the head coach of French club Bordeaux, following his stint as the manager of Slovenian side Celje for just over three months.

While Riera has yet to achieve the same level of recognition as Alonso, who is currently linked with top clubs like Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, and Liverpool, he has had a promising start to his senior coaching career.
He has orchestrated 11 victories out of 17 matches in the PRVA Liga and Europa Conference qualifiers, averaging 2.12 points per game.

Although he began his coaching journey in the Slovenian top flight, it’s expected that French football will present a more significant challenge to Riera’s coaching abilities.
Perhaps, in the years to come, we might consider Riera as a potential successor to Jurgen Klopp if he can sustain his progress in the coaching arena.
