Since Jurgen Klopp announced earlier this year that he would be stepping down as manager of Liverpool at the end of the season, there has been a lot of speculation as to who would replace him.
One name that has been frequently mentioned is former Reds midfielder Xabi Alonso.
The Spaniard took on his first major managerial role in October 2022 at Bayer Leverkusen and this season has been a huge success so far with the team leading the Bundesliga by eight points ahead of Bayern Munich.
Alonso's 2023/24 campaign in the German top flight has led to calls for him to be named Liverpool manager in the summer, but former Premier League defender William Gallas would like to see a different Liverpool legend given the chance to manage the club.
"Steven Gerrard should replace Jurgen Klopp. He was the manager at Rangers and Aston Villa so why can’t he manage Liverpool?" Gallas told Genting Casino.
"It’s not like he’s just started his managerial career, he has experience under his belt already. They have to give him that job.
"Liverpool fans respect Xabi Alonso, he’s had a great career and is having good results with Leverkusen but Steven Gerrard is a legend at Liverpool."
