Carragher Questions Liverpool’s Choice: Why Not Alonso Over Iraola?

1 / 4

Jamie Carragher has voiced surprise at Liverpool’s decision to make Andoni Iraola the favourite for the manager’s job after parting ways with Arne Slot. Despite Slot delivering a Premier League title in his first season, a fifth-place finish last term led Fenway Sports Group to act. Carragher believes Xabi Alonso, now at Chelsea, should have been approached instead. On a recent podcast, Carragher pointed to Alonso’s impressive coaching CV and success at Bayer Leverkusen. He argued that Alonso’s experience at Real Madrid, despite its challenges, shows he can handle Anfield’s pressure. The former defender also questioned whether Liverpool’s current squad can sustain Iraola’s intense high-pressing style without significant reinforcements.
