One of the most well-known contenders is Jurgen Klopp, and Roberto De Zerbi is also under consideration.
During the previous season, Brighton, which was managed by an Italian, was able to qualify for the Europa League.
While Barcelona is looking for a new head coach to replace Xavi Hernandez, they are also keeping an eye on De Zerbi as a potential candidate. A decision has been made by the Spaniard to leave the Catalan giants at the conclusion of the current season.
An Italian journalist by the name of Gianluigi Longari has predicted that Liverpool will use De Zerbi as their player. The following is what the transfer expert had to say, as published by Arena Napoli:
In conclusion, I would like to talk about De Zerbi, the coach that I would decide to hire if I were to be at either Liverpool or Barcelona.
“The Italian would respect the DNA of both clubs with his ideas of play, and he would have the possibility of exporting his beliefs also in a club that begins with the goal of winning all of the events it participates in,” the article states.
It is necessary to satisfy the £8.5 million (10 million euros) release clause in the manager’s contract in order to employ him, as reported by the Spanish outlet AS.
The manager’s contract with the Seagulls is scheduled to expire in the summer of 2026, and in order to do this, it is necessary to fulfill the stipulation.
In addition to being the leading candidate to succeed Jurgen Klopp at Anfield, Xabi Alonso, a former player for Liverpool, is being heavily connected to his former club.
The Italian manager has more management experience overall and has demonstrated his importance in England as well, despite the fact that Alonso’s Bayer Leverkusen are now in first place in the Bundesliga.
Both of the managers are quite young, and it will not be an easy task to replace Jurgen Klopp, who is widely considered to be one of the top managers in the world of football.
