The latest odds on who the favourite is to replace Arne Slot at Liverpool:
Xabi Alonso is the overwhelming favourite at 8/13, largely due to his availability after leaving Real Madrid earlier this year. His historic connection to the club and his Bundesliga-winning pedigree make him the most logical choice for the FSG hierarchy if they decide to move on from Slot this summer.
Sebastian Hoeness sits at 10/1 after continuing to work miracles with Stuttgart in the Bundesliga. His reputation as a developer of young talent aligns with Liverpool's long-term strategy, making him an intriguing, albeit less experienced, option for the role.
Jurgen Klopp remains a sentimental outsider at 14/1, though any return would likely be in a temporary or advisory capacity rather than a full-time managerial role.
Andoni Iraola has seen his odds drop to 20/1 despite his impressive work at Bournemouth and his existing relationship with Sporting Director Richard Hughes. His aggressive tactical setup could be a seamless fit for the current crop of players at Anfield.
Julian Nagelsmann currently sits at 20/1 as the German national team manager prepares to return to club football following the upcoming World Cup. Liverpool have reportedly kept tabs on his situation for years, and his high-pressing style would likely appease a fanbase frustrated by Slot's more rigid system.
Luis Enrique has also emerged with odds of 20/1, as rumours circulate that he may be looking for a new challenge away from Paris Saint-Germain. His tactical flexibility and experience managing world-class egos are seen as ideal traits for a squad currently in a transitional phase.
Simone Inzaghi is listed at 20/1 following his continued success in Italy, where his Inter Milan side has remained a dominant force in Europe. His ability to build a robust defense could be exactly what Liverpool needs after conceding four goals to Manchester City.
Xavi Hernandez is also sitting at 20/1 despite not having a managerial job since leaving Barcelona in 2024. Regarded as one of the greatest midfielders of all-time, the Spaniard has proven to be a league winner as a manager with his boyhood club.
Steven Gerrard rounds out the list at 25/1 in what would be a stunning return to Anfield for the former Reds captain. While fans would love a homecoming, his recent managerial record means he sits behind more tactically proven candidates.
