The best candidate for this position would be the Spaniard Xabi Alonso, who had a great stay on Merseyside, where he ended up polishing his potential. Anfield is a special place for Xabi and the former midfielder is also a special place for Liverpool, so a reunion between the two is inevitable.

After the results he has given in the Bundesliga since his arrival, he has become a coach desired by the best teams in the world.
