The announcement of the departure of Jurgen Klopp as manager after nearly nine years at Liverpool led to the start of a search for his successor with Xabi Alonso being an immediate front-runner for the job.
Nevertheless, recent updates seem to indicate that the club management has decided to go for other managerial targets as now it is likely that Alonso will stay with Bayer Leverkusen in the summer.
From being the Number One contender for the Liverpool position, Alonso aged 42, seems resolute to keep to his club Leverkusen’s deal, he has served them as manager just for the last 1 and a half years.
His choice to remain with the club becomes a demonstration of faithfulness to the organization that had enough confidence in him to assign him the managerial role.
The adjusted strategy of finding a new manager, after the success Alonso had at Leverkusen, has lowered the credibility Liverpool has in finding one of Europe’s top coaches.
Along with his leadership, Bayer Leverkusen has kept a perfect record this campaign, still going unbeaten in all tournaments.
This brilliant run that has taken them into the final stages of DFB-Pokal and Europa League and also ensured that they have a 10-point advantage over all the other teams in the Bundesliga.

What is the recent update on Liverpool’s stance on Alonso now?
Leverkusen’s leading position in the Bundesliga, a totally new development in the club’s history, constitutes an impressive achievement.
Alonso has done more than only putting them in contention for the league title but also it will be the journey into the Champions League next season, which is the historical event in the club’s history.
The next step is to confirm that Alonso will continue to serve as the head coach of Bayer Leverkusen. Given this fact, the club now needs to exhaust all the possible candidates for the managerial position.
Among the candidates reported to be on shortlist are Amorim and Roberto De Zebri, whose knowledge and performance was admired by the board and could take the place left by the exit of Klopp.
