Alonso’s decision to remain with Leverkusen, who are unbeaten in 38 games in all competitions this season, ends Liverpool’s hopes his arrival would soften the blow of Klopp’s impending departure.The Reds’ fortunes on and off the field have been transformed during Klopp’s eight-and-a-half years in charge.
“For the future it is important how good is the team, how good are the players, how good is the structure and how good is the organisation,” Klopp said earlier this month. Amorim’s first job came at Braga in 2019, where he lasted just over two months and 13 games before Sporting paid his €10 million release clause to take over at the Lisbon giants.
De Zerbi has the perfect opportunity to make his case and spoil Klopp’s farewell when Brighton visit Anfield on Sunday. Nagelsmann was once considered the rising star of European coaching himself after impressing at Hoffenheim and RB Leipzig.
