Liverpool fans claim Xabi Alonso is the ideal successor to Jurgen Klopp as Bayer Leverkusen boss celebrates with his entire coaching staff following victory over Bayern Munich

Bayer Leverkusen boss Xabi Alonso appeared to take a leaf out of Jurgen Klopp's book by celebrating with his entire coaching staff after beating Bayern Munich.

Leverkusen won 3-0 at home to Bayern and are now five points clear of their opponents at the top of the Bundesliga.

Former Liverpool midfielder Alonso has been heavily linked with the Anfield job after Jurgen Klopp announced that he will leave the club at the end of the season.

Klopp has often given his coaching staff credit following important victories and Alonso did likewise after Bayer's win.
