Xabi Alonso responds to fans question on becoming Liverpool manager

"I am here in San Sebastian and Liverpool fans, they salute me and I still feel that support," Xabi Alonso told CNN when asked about becoming a Liverpool manager in the future.

"For me, that feeling in life is great.

"Right now, Jurgen [Klopp] is doing a great job, so I think that the job is fulfilled, but for sure that Liverpool is top, top club for me, very, very, special."

The ex-Liverpool midfielder is currently in charge of Real Sociedad's B team. Last season, he guided them to promotion to Spain's second division.

Alonso's team is currently 16th in the 22-team league, with 10 points after 9 games.

"I don't have a time frame for my career," the Spaniard added when asked about his plans for the future.

"I feel that my step is here because I am not in a rush to reach the top level. I know that at some stage, if I keep doing well, it will come."
