The sporting crisis at Real Madrid is stealing all the headlines in the football world, however, in the Premier League there is another giant that is also going through a bad time and their coach is on the ropes. It is Liverpool, a team that has had an irregular season and the rumors about the departure of Arne Slot are getting bigger and bigger.

If Slot were to leave, the English team has several options for his replacement, but one of them is the one that most appeals to the club: Xabi Alonso, who was recently dismissed by Real Madrid and has a past as a player with the Reds.

Xabi Alonso could replace Slot at Liverpool

While Liverpool are the reigning Premier League champions, fans are losing patience with Slot, who has been very inconsistent and sits fourth in the English league, well behind leaders Arsenal.

After rumors of an early exit or at the end of the season for Slot, Liverpool are starting to look for names for a replacement and Xabi Alonso is the one they like the most.

Journalist Daniel Taylor commented on his social networks that the English team is already looking for coaches and among a long list of candidates, Xabi Alonso is the one who leads the preferences. "Talks are already underway to find a new manager to replace Slot, with Xabi Alonso heading the list."

Xabi Alonso seeks revenge after Real Madrid exit

Xabi Alonso's adventure at Real Madrid lasted less than expected. The Spaniard was dismissed after losing the Spanish Super Cup against Barcelona and was questioned for his leadership in a dressing room that is not for everyone.

After having triumphed in Germany, Alonso arrived in Madrid with great expectations, but soccer is unpredictable and after just over seven months, he was no longer the Merengues' coach.

Now, with the end of the season getting closer, Alonso is preparing for a new direction and knows that he is quite well liked at Anfield, as he left very nice memories as a player and in England they believe that he may be the ideal candidate for Liverpool.
