Liverpool supporters select their next Jurgen Klopp with Steven Gerrard as the second most popular choice
Liverpool faces one of the most important decisions in the club’s history as they search for a replacement for Klopp. The legacy he has built makes it feel almost impossible to find a manager who wouldn’t be a downgrade. Xabi Alonso is considered the early frontrunner following his successful season with Bayer Leverkusen. Liverpool fans overwhelmingly want Alonso to replace Klopp, with 61% of voters expressing their preference for him.
Steven Gerrard, who had success at Rangers before a brief stint at Aston Villa, also has support from fans, with 14% of voters keen to see him return to Liverpool. The current Reds assistant manager, Pep Lijnders, closely follows with 12% of the vote. Other potential candidates such as Roberto De Zerbi, Julian Nagelsmann, Antonio Conte, Luis Enrique, and Pep Lijnders have varying levels of support among fans. Liverpool must make the correct decision to avoid a potential drop-off similar to what Manchester United experienced after Sir Alex Ferguson’s departure.
