Khaberni - British media confirmed that the corridors of Liverpool club are witnessing a state of increasing anticipation with the circulation of strong news about Xabi Alonso's approach to taking over the team's coaching in the upcoming period, a development that may redraw the features of the club's technical project.
According to the information circulated, Alonso has become the primary target for the management of "the Reds" to succeed the Dutchman Arne Slot, amid early indicators that the Spanish coach is open to embarking on a new coaching experience in the Premier League.
These developments come at a critical time for Liverpool's management, which continues to assess the future of the coaching staff, amid talk of an impending reveal that may affect the fate of Slot at ten o'clock on Monday morning British time, which increases the intensity of speculations about a near decisive decision.
Sources close to decision-making circles indicate that the club does not view Xabi Alonso's name as a passing option, but as part of a long-term vision to rebuild the team on clear technical foundations that align with Liverpool's historical identity.
Alonso enjoys great appreciation within the corridors of Anfield, not only for what he offers on the coaching front in his latest experience, but also for his symbolic value to the club's fans, as one of the most prominent Liverpool players in the modern era and a key player in winning the Champions League title in 2005. This legacy grants him a moral advantage that may ease the process of acceptance by the fans and provide him with an early margin of confidence in case the agreement is completed.
The information circulated indicates that the contacts, if they exist, are still in their early stages, but they reflect a clear desire on the part of Liverpool to move early and not wait until the end of the season. This approach reflects lessons learned by the management that early decisiveness in the coach's file provides the club with technical stability and aids in planning the summer transfer market more accurately.
On the other hand, Arne Slot's position remains a question, in the absence of any official announcement so far. Although his results have not been disastrous, the evaluation within the club is not limited to the results only, but also includes technical identity, the ability to develop players, and the extent of alignment with the long-term strategic project, which opens the door to a scenario of change, if the management sees that the next stage requires a name with different experiences and ideas.
All scenarios remain open, with uncertainties from all parties on Monday morning. However, Xabi Alonso's name is strongly present at the decision table in Liverpool, and the club is preparing for a pivotal phase that may define its technical future for years to come.
