Xabi Alonso has reached a verbal agreement to become the next head coach of Liverpool, set to replace Arne Slot at the end of the season. The Reds, currently sixth in the Premier League, are just three points off a Champions League spot, but Slot's job hangs in the balance. Despite winning the Premier League title last season, Liverpool's performance this season has fallen short of expectations. Reports indicate Slot could be dismissed if the team fails to qualify for the Champions League. Alonso, previously sacked by Real Madrid in January, has a three-year deal in place. However, that agreement could be voided if Slot leads Liverpool to Champions League glory this season. Football Insider's Pete O’Rourke suggests Slot's future hinges on securing a top-four finish and potential silverware to salvage a disappointing campaign.
