Having been unable to attract Xabi Alonso to his bench, Liverpool management is now considering a coach from the French championship.

Jurgen Klopp’s succession at Liverpool remains open. Xabi Alonso was expected to take this position but he preferred to continue with Liverpool. The Portuguese Ruben Amorim was announced, but he would now be closer to West Ham. The new form track is called… Paulo Fonseca.

Indeed, according to the site Football Transfers, the Lusitanian coach of LOSC is of great interest to the management of the Reds. She would be ready to bet on him if the other possibilities explored do not come to fruition. The profile of this technician is very popular on the Mersey side.

Liverpool are casting a wide net now

As a reminder, Fonseca has already played for a major European club. Between 2019 and 2021, he took care of AS Roma. After this experience, he was very close to signing with Tottenham but that did not materialize. This time he may finally get the chance to join the Premier League.

It’s not the 1e time a Ligue 1 manager is cited at Liverpool. A few weeks ago, this was already the case with Franck Haise. But it didn’t go any further with the RC Lens coach. Guess it was at the bottom of the pile.
