While Liverpool views Alonso as their preferred choice to succeed Klopp, contingency plans are in motion.

The Frenchman is said to be enticed by the prospect of a ‘solid project’ and the added allure of having a say in player acquisitions if he were to join.
Zidane, who left Real Madrid in 2021 after securing 11 trophies in four years, including three Champions League titles, has been out of managerial duties. Despite purportedly rejecting offers from various clubs during his three-year hiatus, Marseille, his childhood club, was rumored to be the only managerial position he would entertain.

The former Juventus midfielder is concerned about effectively communicating his instructions to players in a language where he may face challenges. However, the prospect of managing Liverpool intrigues Zidane, contingent on Alonso’s decision regarding his future, which is expected to be finalized at the end of the season. This uncertainty leaves the door ajar for Zidane to carefully weigh his managerial options.
