Xabi Alonso in frame for No2 job at Man City

Xabi Alonso is being linked with a return to England.

Currently Real Sociedad B coach, the former Liverpool midfielder is in the frame to become Pep Guardiola's No2 at Manchester City.

Goal says he's not the only man with Liverpool ties in the running for the job.

Rodolfo Borrell coached Liverpool's U18s and reserve team during a five-year spell at Anfield. Having made his name at Barcelona, Borrell was brought to Kirkby by Rafa Benitez alongside Pep Segura.

He joined Man City as a technical director in 2014 before transitioning to become a first team coach under Guardiola.

Borrell has since assumed further responsibility following the departure of Mikel Arteta to Arsenal in December and is thought to be the front runner to take on the role of assistant manager full-time.
