Liverpool fans are readying ourselves for a future without Jurgen Klopp and Jamie Carragher has been asked to name who he would select as the next manager of the club.
Speaking on The Overlap, the Scouser said: “If you’re talking about who should come in, I think it should be Xabi Alonso.
“A former teammate of mine, he’s very inexperienced in management, I think he’s only managed about 60 or 70 games.
“But what you would have straight away is the club on side, not just because he’s an ex-Liverpool player but because of the respect he had as a player.
“What he’s done in 18 months at Bayer Leverkusen is pretty remarkable.”

It’s still very early in his managerial days and being given control of the Reds would be a huge coup for Xabi Alonso, an option that is looking increasingly likely by the day.
We’re still a long way from this day though and let’s enjoy every second we have with the German, before contemplating who will be the next man through the door.
