Who is the favourite to replace Klopp at Liverpool?
Xabi Alonso is the bookmakers’ favourite to replace Jurgen Klopp as the club’s next manager at odds of 4/5 (implied 55% chance), currently available with Paddy Power.
The favourite when the news first broke was assistant manager Pep Lijnders, who has been with Liverpool since 2014 except for a short period in 2018 when he failed to gain promotion to the Eredivisie with NEC.
He was sacked by the club less than five months after joining and returned to the Liverpool coaching staff ahead of their Champions League winning season in 2018/19.
Xabi Alonso, meanwhile, is enjoying an incredible start to his managerial career with Bayer Leverkusen, winning 41 of his first 65 matches in charge. The team are currently two points clear of Harry Kane’s Bayern Munich after 19 matches unbeaten (W15 D4).

What have Liverpool won under Jurgen Klopp?
Jurgen Klopp has won six trophies during his time at Liverpool, or seven if you include the 2022 Community Shield.
The pinnacle of Klopp's Liverpool reign came in the 2018/2019 season when the club secured a historic sixth European Cup title after a 2-0 win over Tottenham. Goals on the night came from Mohamed Salah and Divock Origi.
In the following season, Klopp led Liverpool to the only Premier League title of his era so far. The Reds also picked up the FIFA Club World Cup in 2019.
Despite also winning the FA Cup and Carabao Cup as part of a domestic cup double, his time at Liverpool has included its fair share of heartbreaks, including two Champions League final losses to Real Madrid – the second as they pursued a cup treble in 2021/22.
