Liverpool<\/a> could reportedly appoint Sebastian Hoeness<\/a> as their next manager if they decide to part ways with Arne Slot<\/a> in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n

The Reds are currently fifth in the Premier League table<\/strong><\/a> with 49 points from 31 matches, two points behind Aston Villa, who also have a game in hand.<\/p>\n

A poor run of form has seen Liverpool fail to win in their recent league fixtures, with their top-four hopes suffering another setback following a 2-1 defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion<\/strong><\/a> on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Having already lost 10 league games this season, their worst record in a decade, pressure is mounting on Slot<\/strong><\/a>, and his future is expected to come under scrutiny at the end of the campaign.<\/p>\n

While Liverpool are likely to give him time until the end of the season, even in the event of a Champions League exit, failure to secure qualification for next season\u2019s competition could bring an end to his tenure at Anfield.<\/p>\n

Sebastian Hoeness emerges as a potential candidate for Liverpool?\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to Football Insider<\/a>, Liverpool hold a strong admiration for Hoeness, who has built a growing reputation as one of Europe\u2019s most promising young managers.<\/p>\n

The 43-year-old has transformed VfB Stuttgart<\/a> from relegation contenders into genuine Champions League challengers and has done an ‘unbelievable’ job.\u00a0<\/p>\n

However, the report also claims that Hoeness is not believed to be the club\u2019s leading target at this stage.<\/p>\n

Xabi Alonso<\/a> favourite to replace Slot at Anfield?\u00a0<\/p>\n

Instead, Xabi Alonso is widely regarded as the frontrunner for the Liverpool job should a change be made.<\/p>\n

The former Liverpool midfielder remains a popular figure among supporters and is currently available after parting ways with Real Madrid earlier this year.<\/p>\n

Alonso previously enjoyed a remarkable spell with Bayer Leverkusen, guiding them to their first Bundesliga title while completing an unbeaten league campaign.<\/p>\n

His tactical approach is also seen as well-suited to maximising the potential of Florian Wirtz, who thrived under his management in Germany.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Liverpool could reportedly appoint Sebastian Hoeness as their next manager if they decide to part ways with Arne…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":843907,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8815],"tags":[748,4230,393,68644,94,707,2826,4884,179,22138,7126,101,4151,93,68303,10938,1068,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-843906","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-liverpool","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-cycling","10":"tag-england","11":"tag-epl","12":"tag-football","13":"tag-formula-1","14":"tag-golf","15":"tag-great-britain","16":"tag-liverpool","17":"tag-nfl","18":"tag-olympics","19":"tag-premier-league","20":"tag-rugby","21":"tag-sport","22":"tag-sports-mole","23":"tag-teams","24":"tag-tennis","25":"tag-uk","26":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/116275894568057814","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/843906","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=843906"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/843906\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/843907"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=843906"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=843906"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=843906"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
