Former Liverpool player Dirk Kuyt has thrown his weight behind his ex-teammate Xabi Alonso as a suitable replacement for Jurgen Klopp at Anfield, citing Alonso\u2019s impressive start to his managerial career.<\/p>\n

Alonso, currently managing Bayer Leverkusen, has steered his team to an undefeated streak in the Bundesliga this season, holding a commanding lead over traditional powerhouse Bayern Munich. Additionally, Leverkusen has progressed to the Europa League quarter-finals, presenting Alonso with a platform to showcase his managerial prowess.<\/p>\n

Liverpool views Alonso as an ideal candidate to succeed Klopp at the end of the season, given his success with Leverkusen and his strong ties to the club.<\/p>\n

Kuyt expressed confidence in Alonso\u2019s coaching abilities, noting his strategic thinking and leadership qualities both on and off the field during their playing days.<\/p>\n

Reflecting on Alonso\u2019s journey from player to manager, Kuyt remarked, telling Liverpool Echo: \u201cXabi was always a guy who was thinking tactically, both on and off the pitch. His progression from managing U23s teams to leading Leverkusen to title contention in Germany demonstrates his managerial acumen.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kuyt\u2019s endorsement underscores the belief within Liverpool\u2019s ranks that Alonso has the potential to continue the club\u2019s success and legacy, should he be appointed as Klopp\u2019s successor.<\/p>\n

Kuyt added: \u201cPeople can say maybe it [Alonso taking over from Klopp] has come too quick but sometimes good things come very quickly and for me, definitely, he was always a guy during our playing time that was always thinking about the game; thinking tactically; talking always tactically outside of the pitch.\u201d<\/p>\n
