Schweinsteiger: I know what Xabi thinks about Liverpool job

Former Bayern Munich captain Bastian Schweinsteiger is convinced Xabi Alonso wants to manage Liverpool.

The Bayer Leverkusen coach has been linked with the Reds as Jurgen Klopp prepares to depart at the end of the season.

And Schweinsteiger believes Xabi has hopes of succeeding the German.

He said: I know Xabi and I think his big dream is to coach Liverpool.

"I can imagine that it will be this summer when he goes to Liverpool."

Xabi played for Liverpool between 2004 and 2009 and won the Champions League under Rafa Benitez in 2005.
