Spanish Reports: 'Verbal Agreement Between Liverpool and Xabi Alonso'

According to reports from Spain, there is a possibility of a coaching change at Liverpool at the end of the season. The newspaper «OK Diario», which is also cited by «Mundo Deportivo», reports that Xabi Alonso is one of the main candidates to take over the technical leadership of the «Reds».

Alonso, who played for Liverpool from 2004 to 2009, is considered a particularly beloved figure by the team's fans. He has made 143 appearances and was a key member of the team that won the Champions League in 2005.

Arne Slot's second season on the Liverpool bench is proving difficult, with the team having collected 48 points in 29 games in the Premier League, a performance that does not guarantee a place in the next Champions League.
