Liverpool’s pursuit of a new manager is actively underway, with one of their potential candidates set to depart from his current club at the season’s end.
Jurgen Klopp sent shockwaves through the football world last month by announcing his departure from Anfield after a highly successful nine-year tenure on Merseyside.
Consequently, Liverpool’s management has unexpectedly found themselves in the search for a new leader, with Brighton’s Roberto De Zerbi emerging as one of their considerations.

According to reports from the Daily Mail’s Tom Collomosse, Liverpool is prepared for the possibility of De Zerbi leaving Brighton, creating a favorable opportunity for the Reds to secure him as their next manager should they approach the 44-year-old.
While Bayer Leverkusen’s Xabi Alonso is seen as the frontrunner to succeed Klopp at Liverpool due to his connection with Anfield, the Spanish coach’s future remains uncertain, especially if he achieves success with Leverkusen this season.
De Zerbi, who also garners significant interest, presents a compelling option for Liverpool. With prior experience in the Premier League and a personality suited for success akin to Klopp’s, he could seamlessly fit into the managerial role at Anfield.
Although the process of appointing a new manager for Liverpool is ongoing, it appears that De Zerbi, currently at Brighton, is an attainable target for the Reds.
