Liverpool suffer major blow in search for next manager as candidate signs new contract with current club
Liverpool’s quest for a new manager has hit another obstacle as one of their leading candidates has committed to a new contract with his current club.
In January, Jurgen Klopp’s announcement of his impending departure at the end of the season set Liverpool on the path to find his successor. However, their search has yet to yield results.
Xabi Alonso, once the frontrunner for the Liverpool managerial position, has opted to remain with Bayer Leverkusen. Another contender, Unai Emery, has also been taken out of the equation.
The Athletic reports that Aston Villa’s Emery has extended his contract with the club until 2027. Emery was appointed in 2022, following the departure of Steven Gerrard, when Villa was struggling in 16th place.
This season, Villa has been a surprise standout in the Premier League, currently sitting fourth in the table and contending for Champions League qualification. Additionally, Emery has guided Villa to the semi-finals of the UEFA Europa Conference League, with hopes of securing the club’s first trophy since 1996.
Emery boasts an impressive track record in the UEFA Europa League, securing titles with Sevilla in 2014, 2015, and 2016, followed by another triumph with Villarreal in 2022. Despite being linked with various clubs recently, Emery is reportedly content at Villa Park and plans to explore extending his contract further in the summer.
The Athletic reports that Villa’s owners, Nassef Sawiris and Wes Edens, believe Emery has the potential to emulate the success of legendary Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson. Emery has previously managed Sevilla, Arsenal, Paris Saint-Germain, and Villarreal.
