Liverpool’s hunt for a new manager to replace Jurgen Klopp goes on. With No.1 candidate Xabi Alonso opting to remain with Bayer Leverkusen, the Reds’ hierarchy turned elsewhere.  This week, another reported managerial target, Ruben Amorim, flew to London in order to hold talks with West Ham over becoming their new boss with David Moyes now overwhelmingly likely to depart this summer. His arrival on Merseyside looks more remote by the day.  That led up to yesterday’s stories regarding Arne Slot. A number of well-placed Liverpool journalists had a co-ordinated news line that the 4 ..read more

Liverpool are set to lose Thiago Alcantara on a free transfer this summer.  The 33-year-old midfielder has missed all but a tiny fraction of this season, making a brief appearance off the bench against Arsenal back in February but hasn’t been seen since.  The Spain international was out long term with a persistent hip injury, returing to the first-team picture earlier this year.  However, he suffered a new muscle injury against the Gunners during that Emirates Stadium defeat and looks like he has already played his last game for the club.  Liverpool set to replace Thiago ..read more

Ibrahima Konate has been in and out of the Liverpool team due to a persistent thigh injury and has made only 16 starts in the Premier League all season long.  The 24-year-old’s injury problems, allied with Joel Matip’s long-term knee damage, mean Jurgen Klopp has had to use homegrown prospect Jarell Quansah in the centre back position with Joe Gomez also stepping across on occasion.  The Reds are tipped to go into the transfer market for a central defender this summer with Murillo, Goncalo Inacio, Willian Pacho and Ousmane Diomande among the players linked with an Anfield arrival.&nb ..read more

Trent Alexander-Arnold has recently returned to the Liverpool first team following a knee ligament injury, scoring a stunning free kick in the weekend’s Premier League win against Fulham at Craven Cottage.  It was the 25-year-old’s 100th goal contribution for Liverpool, an incredible landmark for any player but even more so for a right back. But Trent is no ordinary defender, marauding forward to provide crosses, goals and assists throughout his Anfield career and establishing himself as one of the most effective in the world in his position.

Nuri Sahin, the former Liverpool and Borussia Dortmund midfielder, shone under Jurgen Klopp as a player and is now making a big impact as a coach at Signal Iduna Park. Having enrolled in Dortmund's academy at seven years of age, Sahin went from ballboy to midfield metronome, playing a crucial role in Klopp's Bundesliga-conquering side and eventually lining up (albeit only briefly) for Real Madrid and Liverpool.   Since retiring in October 2021, the German-born ex-Turkey international has been engaged in professional coaching, doing an admirable job as head coach and sporting director ..read more

Arne Slot has been given a ringing endorsement for the Liverpool job by three-time Ballon d’Or winner Marco van Basten.  The Feyenoord manager is now seen as the frontrunner to replace Jurgen Klopp at Anfield, with Ruben Amorim seemingly dropping out of the running after a meeting with West Ham on Monday. Slot, 45, coached Feyenoord to the Eredivisie title last season and followed that up this term by claiming the KNVB Beker (Dutch cup).  Having guided the Rotterdam side to second place this term, it’s widely expected that the ex-midfielder leaves the club this summer.    ..read more

Ruben Amorim travelled to London on Monday in order to weigh up a proposal from West Ham to become successor to David Moyes.  The Sporting CP manager took advantage of two days off, following his side’s 3-0 victory over Vitoria Guimaraes at the weekend, flying to London by private jet for negotiations with the Premier League side.  The 39-year-old was later spotted at Lisbon airport, in the early hours of Tuesday, after his lightning quick trip to the British capital.  West Ham offered Amorim MORE MONEY than he could earn at Liverpool 6 mins ago by Peter Staunton Reds want SL ..read more

A clutch of former Liverpool stars have enjoyed significant success in their nascent coaching careers this season.   Xabi Alonso has just won his first Bundesliga title in charge of Bayer Leverkusen and looks a good bet to take home a treble this season with the Werkself still in contention for the Europa League and the DFB Pokal.  Dirk Kuyt, meanwhile, recently guided Beerschot to the Belgian top flight at the first time of asking.  Another star from the Rafa Benitez era is also making waves in the coaching game with Fernando Torres last weekend wrapping up the División de ..read more
