It would be best if Xabi Alonso can coach Liverpool as he'd be the best replacement for Jurgen Klopp when the former leaves the club at the end of the season. Some will say he's inexperienced and can't be fit for the job since he hasnt won any title and as this is his first season at Bayer Leverkusen, probably he'd be a 1 season wonder and as such an experienced hand like Gareth Southgate, England coach, be the man for the job.
I just feel he'd be able to understand the club better since he has played there before and he seems like a man who doesn't easily cave under pressure. See the record he's setting at Leverkusen and if the season ends like this, he would have managed to go unbeaten since the bundesliga season started.
Liverpool are indeed in condition where they are really interested in bringing in Xabi as the coach who will replace Klopp next season, but this may not necessarily happen because we all know that Xabi himself has the desire to bring Leverkusen to new history with various titles.
Moreover, in the rumors that are currently circulating, the name of the Bayern Munich team has also emerged which is also interested in having Xabi as coach there, clearly this is something that could make things difficult for Liverpool if they want to get Xabi services.
Moreover, the Premier League is not an easy competition and Xabi might be able to do well if he coaches Liverpool, but if there is failure then it is clear that Xabi will risk his career.
I admit that Xabi could have brought Liverpool to much better performance, but when the name Bayern Munich comes up I tend to prefer to see Xabi with Bayern Munich, he will definitely work very well if he trains Bayern Munich.
It just that perhaps there will be some sentiments that arise from football fans if Xabi trains Bayern Munich because in the future they will meet Leverkusen, who is Xabi current team.
But this is competition in football and replacement between players and coaches can occur in any team, even if they are teams that are both competing in the same league competition.
