In the ever-dynamic world of football management, Liverpool FC are gearing up for a post-Jurgen Klopp era, and the latest buzz on the managerial merry-go-round includes none other than the treble-winning maestro, Hansi Flick.
At 58, Flick has landed on Liverpool’s radar, joining the likes of Xabi Alonso and Julian Nagelsmann in the shortlist for Klopp’s successor.
As Klopp bids adieu to Anfield, the spotlight is on FSG, Liverpool’s owners, tasked with the monumental challenge of finding a worthy successor.

Flick, a seasoned strategist with a storied career, is emerging as a surprise contender. While the Reds have been linked with several names, including Alonso and Roberto De Zerbi, Flick’s inclusion adds a dash of intrigue to the managerial sweepstakes.
Hansi Flick’s recent stint as Germany’s national team manager might not have dazzled, with 12 wins in 25 games, leading to his exit in September.
However, his glory days at Bayern Munich in the 2019-20 season, clinching the treble, showcase his managerial prowess. Even Liverpool’s current boss, Jurgen Klopp, acknowledged Flick’s achievements, stating,
“Writing more history in eight months would be quite difficult to do!”

Despite Flick’s impressive track record, Xabi Alonso appears to be Liverpool’s top target, with Flick occupying a slot in the ‘extended circle’ of the shortlist.
The report suggests that Alonso, currently at Bayer Leverkusen, is the frontrunner, and Liverpool might need to dig deep into their coffers to secure his services, as his contract runs until 2026.
