Alonso back after 15-year gap
Meanwhile Alonso returns to Anfield after a 15-year absence to head up the club’s goalkeeping department.
He first joined the club in 2007 under manager Rafael Benitez – leaving in 2010 to follow him to Inter Milan, Chelsea, Napoli and Real Madrid. The pair went their separate ways in 2016, with Alonso spending almost two years with Chinese club Hebei China Fortune.
Alonso returned to English football in the summer of June 2018 after being appointed First Team Goalkeeping Coach and Head of Goalkeeping at West Ham United, where he has been ever since.
