Former Liverpool star and Bayer Leverkusen manager Xabi Alonso has dominated the betting to replace Jurgen Klopp as Liverpool manager.
Xabi Alonso, who is the odds-on favourite with all of the UK’s top bookmakers, has taken 58% of all bets placed on oddschecker since the news first broke this morning.
After starting the day at odds of 5/1, Alonso now sits at a best price 8/11 in the next Liverpool manager odds following Klopp’s announcement earlier today (shortest 1/2)
The only other manager who is shorter than 10/1 at best price is Roberto De Zerbi (17/2 on Paddy Power), who has only accounted for 13.6% of bets placed today.
Current Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou (25/1 on bet365) is the third most backed to succeed Klopp at Liverpool (now shortening to be the next England manager), amassing 6.1% of total bets.
