Fans of Liverpool have ignited social media after a picture began circulating online that many believe shows former Reds star Xabi Alonso in Liverpool — stirring fresh speculation about the managerial situation at Anfield.
The backdrop to the excitement is mounting uncertainty around current head coach Arne Slot, whose position has come under scrutiny as Liverpool’s recent form has stuttered. Some supporters have taken to forums and comment threads to speculate that Alonso — currently without a job following his exit from Real Madrid — could be in the city preparing for a possible return to the club.
However, the image that sparked the frenzy shows a bearded man wearing a hat and sunglasses, making it almost impossible to confirm whether it’s truly the former midfielder. Online reactions have been mixed — while some supporters are convinced the sighting signals big changes, others stress it could simply be a case of mistaken identity.
There’s no verified evidence yet linking Alonso with a move back to Liverpool or confirming his presence in the city, but the picture has nonetheless set fan channels alight with debate over who should be in charge at Anfield next.
