Slot discusses Alonso sacking and sporting directors

Arne Slot, Xabi Alonso and the Unease of Modern Football Power Anfield has never been a place that tolerates uncertainty particularly well.

What, exactly, does Jurgen Klopp do now?

The Future of Klopp For most of the past two decades, the answer to that question was simple. Jürgen Klopp coached football teams.
