Liverpool are continuing to monitor Stuttgart manager Sebastian Hoeneß ahead of the summer, with the German coach reportedly remaining on the club’s managerial shortlist should a change be made at the end of the season.
Hoeneß has received a lot of praise for the work he has done at Stuttgart, where his team have played attacking football, improved young players and competed strongly despite not having one of the biggest budgets in Germany. His ability to organise a team, develop players and play modern, high-intensity football is believed to have caught the attention of several top clubs across Europe, including Liverpool.
However, reports suggest that while he is highly respected and being monitored closely, he is not currently the number one candidate if Liverpool decide to make a managerial change in the summer. The club are believed to be keeping a list of several potential managers, with different options depending on how the season finishes and who becomes available.
Liverpool’s owners have often preferred younger, progressive coaches who improve players and work well within a club structure rather than demanding complete control. Hoeneß would fit that model, which is why he is being watched closely.
The situation with Liverpool’s manager is expected to become clearer towards the end of the season, when the club carry out their end-of-season review. Until then, more names will likely continue to be linked with the job.
Sebastian Hoeneß may not be the favourite at the moment, but he is clearly a manager Liverpool are watching carefully, and that means his name is one to keep an eye on as the summer approaches.
