Liverpool’s search for a new manager is a challenging task as they acknowledge there is no “lite” version of Jurgen Klopp. The club aims to find a successor who can connect with supporters, the city and the club’s spirit going beyond statistical matches.

While a data driven approach will guide the process, Liverpool looks for someone the squad, staff and supporters want to invest in. Klopp’s legacy is deeply rooted in his holistic approach caring about the club’s well-being beyond his tenure.

The absence of a sporting director complicates the task but Liverpool aims for synergy between the director and manager. Xabi Alonso emerges as a standout option according to Klopp himself. Liverpool continuously assesses emerging managers and extensive dossiers on potential candidates are already in progress.
