Liverpool on Alert Major Names Emerge as Potential Successors to Arne Slot

Khaberni - Liverpool's management is in a state of anticipation due to the increasing pressure on coach Arne Slot, which has opened the door wide to a large wave of nominations in the British media and social media platforms regarding the identity of the potential technical director if a dismissal decision is made.

The scene has become crowded with names, some realistic and some resulting from fan interactions, but all reflect the level of concern and the club's desire to maintain the stability of the technical project in the upcoming phase, which is now under threat under Arne Slot's leadership.

Jürgen Klopp is among the most prominent names topping the headlines, whose name has strongly re-emerged as an emergency option in case of reaching a crisis stage. Despite the difficulty of his return in the long term, a large part of Liverpool fans see his presence until the end of the season as a lifeline if the team's results shake further.

Xabi Alonso remains the most circulated candidate among the media and fans, due to his remarkable career and his technical and historical compatibility with Liverpool's philosophy. His name is continually proposed as a strategic option to start a new project if the management decides to turn a new page after Slot.

On the other hand, contracting Frenchman Zinedine Zidane is among the dreams of the English club's management, while the name of former Manchester United coach Erik ten Hag has suddenly emerged on the list.

Names like Oliver Glasner also stand out, who is appreciated in England because of his clear style in defensive organization and high pressure, in addition to Andoni Iraola who has strongly imposed himself after recent successes, becoming one of the coaches who combine tactical boldness and the ability to develop players.

Meanwhile, Unai Emery appears as a respected choice due to his extensive European experience, especially since Liverpool may need a coach capable of handling the pressure of competition both domestically and continentally. Nicky Hay, whose name has suddenly appeared in some media, is seen as a surprise candidate but remains on the list of names proposed thanks to his good work in Europe.
