5) Ange Postecoglou


The former Spurs and Nottingham Forest manager’s inclusion on this list may come as a surprise to some supporters, considering how things went for him, especially at the City Ground.

However, it is believed that Postecoglou has plenty of admirers among the suits in Liverpool’s boardroom.

4) Xabi Alonso


The Spaniard is currently head coach of Real Madrid, so you may be wondering why he has made this list.

It should be noted that the odds are for the next “permanent” manager. There is a decent chance that the Reds will hire an interim before a long-term appointment. Real have been struggling in recent games, and if Alonso is sacked before the end of the season, he could become a candidate to succeed Slot.
