How Xabi Alonso feels about Liverpool return as Sky reporter shares what ‘sources’ have indicated

According to what one Sky Sports reporter has heard from ‘sources close to’ Xabi Alonso, the former Liverpool midfielder would be ‘more than happy’ to return to Anfield in the guise of head coach if the opportunity were to arise.

The 44-year-old was sacked by Real Madrid a fortnight ago and has been at the epicentre of speculation linking him with Arne Slot’s job ever since, with Jermaine Pennant believing that the incumbent boss is under ‘added pressure’ now that the Spaniard is available.
