Liverpool are big fans of 51yr old manager Tottenham rejected for being too attacking

Liverpool’s quest for a new manager is proving to be a challenging endeavor, with no clear frontrunner emerging despite knowing about Jurgen Klopp’s impending departure for several months.

Initially, Xabi Alonso seemed a potential candidate, but after his commitment to Bayer Leverkusen, Liverpool finds themselves back at square one in their search for Klopp’s successor.

Nonetheless, Liverpool has a few other names on their radar, with one 51-year-old boss standing out as a favorite, according to The Athletic.

Paulo Fonseca, a Portuguese manager with a stellar track record at clubs like Liverpool and Roma, has garnered admiration from Liverpool’s hierarchy and could be considered for the managerial role.

While Liverpool has yet to finalize a decision, Fonseca’s name has reportedly been part of their discussions regarding potential candidates.

Fonseca has been linked with a move to the Premier League on numerous occasions, with clubs like Newcastle United and Manchester United showing interest in the past.

In fact, Fonseca revealed that he was close to becoming Tottenham’s manager, but the deal fell through due to differences in footballing philosophy, as Spurs deemed him too attacking for their liking.

Despite the setback, Fonseca remains committed to his principles, emphasizing his preference for attractive and offensive football, which aligns well with Liverpool’s style under Klopp.

His philosophy of playing expansive and attacking football could make him an ideal candidate to succeed Klopp at Anfield, offering continuity in the club’s playing style.

For Liverpool, Fonseca could be the right fit to maintain the club’s tradition of exciting and dynamic football, making him a compelling option to consider in their managerial search.
