Xabi Alonso is the preferred choice when it comes to the difficult task of replacing Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool, but several other options are being considered. FSG is data-driven and conducts extensive research before making decisions.
Roberto De Zerbi and Julian Nagelsmann are among the first in some categories. With Liverpool returning to the top of the Premier League with a win over Burnley on the road to Anfield this weekend, some fans have mentioned Thomas Tuchel’s name as another possibility as elsewhere, but he said: “I was more surprised in this way than anything else. It’s not featured very often, so that’s a strong case for it.
Tuchel, who managed Klopp at Mainz and Borussia Dortmund and has since managed PSG, Chelsea and now Bayern Munich, certainly has experience. He won the Champions League, knows the Premier League well and has been playing for around 20 months at Stamford Bridge.After Klopp’s surprise resignation was announced at the end of last month, journalist Ben Jacobs told GiveMeSport: “It’s interesting that Tuchel said he is more popular in England than in Germany.” “It could be a situation where he gets involved and it would be unexpected.”But I think he will be back in the Premier League soon.
I think he would love the chance to go to Liverpool and show Chelsea what they are missing. I think he really likes it.”There was a similar sentiment in the conversation we overheard on the bus trip to Liverpool against Burnley, with Tuchel wondering why he wasn’t available more often elsewhere. That was before Alonso lost 3-0 to Bayer Leverkusen. His team saved their own lives.
Potential benefits. Trouble in the Bundesliga title race. But Leverkusen’s win speaks volumes for why they shouldn’t be a contender.”I’ve always been a big supporter of Tuchel, but when Nagelsmann was sacked I said it was a short-term mistake that robbed Bayern of the chance to win something special.
I haven’t seen anything to prove me wrong.” commentator and Bundesliga expert. Kevin Hatchard posted this on X/Twitter today. “We haven’t seen Bayern beat their title rivals like this for years.”If Bayern Munich win the Bundesliga this season, it will be as disappointing as last season when they won on the last day due to the collapse of Borussia Dortmund.
Leverkusen will need Tuchel’s side to get out of here to get back into contention. This is possible, but it has nothing to do with lowly Bayern Munich. Whatever happens from this point, if the decision is made for Liverpool to replace Klopp for a third time with Tuchel available, it will be difficult to convince fans that he is the best option. What a future Alonso made this weekend and this season he changed not only the conversation around him, but also the Germans. With Alonso the clear front-runner for the Liverpool position, it should also be clear why Tuchel is not a serious contender. Just one of them will make Reds fans very happy.
