Alonso Open to Liverpool Return Amid Pressure on Arne Slot

Speculation is mounting regarding the future managerial leadership of English club Liverpool, following media reports suggesting that Xabi Alonso views a return to Anfield as the team's coach in the near future positively. Sky Sports reported that figures within Liverpool are seriously considering Alonso as a potential replacement for Dutchman Arne Slot if the team's inconsistent results continue. The report indicated that Alonso would be "very happy" to return to the English club where he spent five years as a prominent player, including winning the Champions League.

The poor run of results Liverpool is experiencing in the Premier League has fueled speculation about a potential managerial change at the end of the season. The team has failed to win its last five league matches, placing them sixth and outside the qualification spots for next season's Champions League.

Despite this, Arne Slot reportedly remains in his position for now, while discussions about Alonso are still within the realm of future scenarios and remain unofficial.

Media reports also stated that Liverpool has made initial contact with Alonso's agent, and the Spanish coach's response to the idea of returning to Anfield was positive. This further strengthens speculation about the club's interest in bringing him in as a potential manager for next season.
