‘Very highly regarded’ – Insider suggests ‘top young manager’ could be a viable successor to Slot Transfer insider Pete O’Rourke has named one ‘top young manager’ in Europe as a viable successor to Arne Slot at Liverpool. The level of scrutiny on the Dutchman has become even more intense after the Reds slumped to a 10th Premier League defeat of the season away to Brighton on Saturday, after which Jermaine Pennant appeared to call for a change in the dugout ahead of next season.

Speaking on Football Insider ‘s Transfer Insider podcast, O’Rourke suggested that a precocious German managerial prospect could potentially nudge his way into Liverpool’s thinking, although a more familiar name would still appear to be the leading candidate. Sebastian Hoeness talked up as potential Liverpool boss He stated: “Sebastian Hoeness is very highly regarded, (and has) done an unbelievable job with Stuttgart, really.
He’s under contract until 2028. I’m sure Stuttgart do not want to lose him, but they’ll be well aware that it won’t just be the likes of Liverpool who’d be interested in Hoeness. “I think there will be a number of clubs across Europe who will be looking at him because of what he has done so far in his career.
He’s helped to develop a number of top young players there as well. “He’s a top young manager. I don’t think he’d be top of Liverpool’s list right now.
It does seem that if Slot were to go, Xabi Alonso would be the obvious fit; but if Hoeness continues doing good things like he’s doing at Stuttgart, it’ll only be a matter of time before some of Europe’s top clubs are ready to take him. ” Want more Empire of the Kop coverage?
