Xabi Alonso is the betting favourite to take over from the German manager after he leaves Liverpool at the end of the season.
Jurgen Klopp announced on Thursday morning that he would be departing Anfield at the end of this campaign after spending over eight years at the club.
Speculation has now become rampant over his possible replacement with several names being linked.
But one man is now favourite, former Liverpool midfielder Alonso who has been doing an exceptional job at Bayer Leverkusen this season.
