Behind Xabi Alonso, Liverpool have a plan B for Klopp's succession

The management of Liverpool could rely on a young Spanish coach to ensure the continuation of Jurgen Klopp on the bench.

Bayern Munich and Liverpool are closely monitoring the situation of Michel, the Girona coach. According to media Okdiario, Michel is considered by the two giants as their “plan B”, with Bayer Leverkusen coach Xabi Alonso being their priority for both.

Xabi Alonso remains priority for Liverpool and Bayern

Xabi is considered at Liverpool as the ideal successor to Jurgen Klopp, while at Bayern, the Basque is favored by management to take Thomas Tuchel’s place. If Xabi refuses one or the other of these two clubs, the Merseysiders like the Bavarians will try to recruit Michel.

However, Girona are confident that Michel will remain in charge next season. He clearly indicated that after the good season achieved by his team, his ambition is to be able to guide this team to the Champions League

Michel signed a contract with Girona until 2026. For this reason, and for the others mentioned above, it will therefore be difficult to snatch him from the Catalans.
