Xabi Alonso has decided to take a short break from coaching following his surprising dismissal from Real Madrid.

According to Marca, Alonso wants to spend time with his family, away from the football spotlight.

The Spaniard would only reconsider if Liverpool came calling. The reason is simple: Liverpool is the club Alonso truly loves. For him, the options are clear — Liverpool or nothing.

Alonso played for Liverpool and won the Champions League with the club before moving to Real Madrid.

However, his dream of managing Liverpool might have to wait, as the club currently has full confidence in Arne Slot.
