Xabi Alonso Favourite for Liverpool Job as Slot Pressure Grows
UK betting sites have opened the market on the next permanent Liverpool manager with pressure continuing to build on current boss Arne Slot.
Slot has shortened in the Premier League sack race odds following Liverpool’s 1-1 draw with Tottenham on Super Sunday, a result that has intensified scrutiny on the Dutch manager.
Liverpool’s struggles this season have seen them fall 21 points behind league leaders Arsenal, leaving their title defence in tatters and raising questions about the club’s direction.
As a result, BetVictor have now priced up potential replacements, with a familiar name leading the betting market.
Next Liverpool Manager Odds
| Next Liverpool Manager | Odds | Implied Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Xabi Alonso | 1/2 | 66.7% |
| Luis Enrique | 2/1 | 33.3% |
| Steven Gerrard | 8/1 | 11.1% |
| Oliver Glasner | 10/1 | 9.1% |
| Jurgen Klopp | 12/1 | 7.7% |
Former Liverpool midfielder Xabi Alonso is the clear favourite at 1/2, giving him a 66.7% implied chance of taking over at Anfield.
Luis Enrique is next in the market at 2/1, while Steven Gerrard sits further back at 8/1 as a potential emotional return candidate.
Alonso Emerges as Leading Candidate
Alonso’s position at the top of the betting comes despite a turbulent season that saw him sacked by Real Madrid after less than eight months in charge back in January.
However his strong connection to Liverpool as a former player, combined with his growing reputation as a coach, appears to make him the standout candidate in the eyes of bookmakers.
The Spaniard’s tactical approach and familiarity with the club have made him a popular choice among fans and bettors alike.
His short price suggests that bookmakers believe he is the most likely successor should Liverpool decide to make a managerial change.
What the expert says...
Slot Under Increasing Pressure at Anfield
Arne Slot’s second season in charge has not gone to plan, with Liverpool falling well short of expectations in the Premier League.
The Reds currently sit 5th in the table, a significant 21 points behind Arsenal, and their recent draw against Tottenham has only added to concerns.
Sack race markets have reacted accordingly, with Slot shortening to 7/2 to be the next Premier League manager to leave, indicating growing pressure on his position.
