Liverpool face Bayern Munich battle for Xabi Alonso as Roberto De Zerbi 'plan' emerges
Liverpool's search for a new manager is continuing to see plenty of speculation as to who could get the job.
Jurgen Klopp announced last month that he would be stepping down from his role as Reds boss at the end of the season. The German has been in charge at Anfield since October 2015 and has won seven major trophies during his time at Anfield.
The Reds are still in the running to win four trophies this season, with the club currently top of the Premier League table. Liverpool are also in the final of the Carabao Cup, the fifth round of the FA Cup and the last-16 of the Europa League.
Between now and the end of the season will see the Liverpool hierarchy working behind the scenes to find the right successor for Klopp. As a result, there have already been plenty of rumours as to who could be the next manager in the Anfield dugout.

Bayern Munich plot Xabi Alonso move
Xabi Alonso has emerged as the early favourite to replace Klopp this summer as the next Liverpool manager. The Bayer Leverkusen boss is impressing in Germany, with the club currently top of the Bundesliga table and five points clear of Bayern Munich.
According to The Times, Bayern boss Thomas Tuchel is under increasing pressure at the Allianz Arena. As a result, it has been claimed that Bayern's hierarchy are preparing plans to replace Tuchel with Alonso.
The report states that it is "increasingly likely" that Tuchel will be dismissed from his role at Bayern. As a result, the Bundesliga giants are said to be prepared to compete with Liverpool to appoint Alonso as their next manager.
