The race to be Liverpool’s next manager is a subject that will dominate the media as the summer approaches.
With Jurgen Klopp departing Liverpool this summer, FSG and other key figures are debating who will take his place.
As we all know, Xabi Alonso is seen as the perfect candidate, and he is among those being considered, along with Sporting Lisbon’s excellent young manager, Ruben Amorim.
According to The Guardian, Liverpool‘s list now includes another name. And that man is Roberto de Zerbi, the current Premier League coach.
Liverpool adds Roberto De Zerbi to list of Alonso alternatives.
According to the source, Italian coach De Zerbi is a top possibility for Liverpool if the deal to sign Xabi Alonso falls through.
The 44-year-old has been immensely impressive since taking over at Brighton and is said to play a style of game that most elite clubs in Europe would adore. Indeed, former Liverpool manager Michael Edwards is thought to have been a major fan of the Italian.
Levi Colwill praised De Zerbi as a ‘world-class’ manager, and his next moves in management will undoubtedly be exciting.
Brighton, like their top players, will be realistic about how long they can keep De Zerbi.
It is unclear whether he is prepared to accept the Liverpool position and get down to business.
A solid option.
While Xabi Alonso is still someone Liverpool fans would like to see at Anfield, Roberto De Zerbi is a name to remember.
Yes, the move up from Brighton would be significant, and expectations for him would climb dramatically.
However, De Zerbi has demonstrated his ability to do business with the Seagulls, and the way he has developed players and elevated them to new heights will appeal to FSG.
With so many talented players coming through at Liverpool, the ability to harness and develop that talent will be a major selling point for the owners.
De Zerbi, then, may find himself solidly in the race by the summer.
