Xabi Alonso now appears to be the favorite to replace Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool.
His connections with the club make him an ideal candidate on paper. He played for Liverpool for a few years. And now he has cult hero status among the club’s fans. Alonso will have time and patience to bring his vision to Anfield.
As a manager, he is only 42 years old, but his achievements in the sport are already impressive. From growing up to coaching the youth team at Real Madrid and then entering senior football at Real Sociedad. Of course, his complete transformation at Bayer Leverkusen completely changed the club’s fortunes.
Your resume is only as strong as your resume. Alonso has achieved what even Jurgen Klopp could not achieve in the Bundesliga. Alonso is unbeaten against Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga this season.
His unbeaten streak is now 19 games. It is the best start to a Bundesliga season by Pep Guardiola, who is on a 28-game unbeaten run.Alonso’s record is also greater than Jurgen Klopp’s. Never before has a Liverpool manager started a season in such impressive form and gone unbeaten for so long at the start of a season.
At one point, Klopp went 28 games unbeaten at Borussia Dortmund, but that was after losing three of their first six games of the 2011/2012 season. This shows how impressive Alonso has been in the Bundesliga. If he can maintain this form, he has the chance to surpass Klopp and Guardiola’s unbeaten record.
