Richard Keys has accused Xabi Alonso of 'bottling it' after he turned down the Liverpool job to remain at Bayer Leverkusen.
Former Liverpool midfielder Alonso had been heavily linked with the managerial position at Anfield following Jurgen Klopp's decision to leave at the end of the campaign.
However, Alonso announced on Friday that he will be staying at Leverkusen, who are on track to win the Bundesliga for the first time in their history.
Alonso could also have potentially taken over at Bayern Munich, with Thomas Tuchel set to leave at the end of the season, or Manchester United, where uncertainty remains over Erik ten Hag's future.
