Bukayo Saka believes one current Liverpool star has what it takes to become a manager once he hangs his boots up.
The Arsenal winger is currently on duty with England as they prepare to face Slovakia in the round of 16 at Euro 2024 on Sunday afternoon.
The Three Lions have been underwhelming in Germany so far and Saka is starting to face speculation around his position in the side.
Criticism has not only been aimed towards the players, but manager Gareth Southgate has also been in the firing line after failing to get the most out of a star-studded squad.
Facing criticism is part of the job for football managers but Bukayo Saka believes current Liverpool star Trent Alexander-Arnold has what it takes to enter the world of management after his playing career is over.
Bukayo Saka names Trent Alexander-Arnold as future manager
After seeing the pressure applied to Southgate this summer, many of England’s players might decide to reconsider a path into management.
However, Saka believes international teammate Alexander-Arnold has what it takes to become a manager.
After being asked which England star could make a future manager, Saka told Lions Den Unlocked: “Do you know who comes to mind? Trent [Alexander-Arnold].
“I think he could be a gaffer. He loves the game. I could see it potentially.”
Trent Alexander-Arnold at Liverpool
After working under Jurgen Klopp for the entirety of his Liverpool career, Alexander-Arnold has been learning from one of the best in the business.
The next test for the 25-year-old is whether he can adapt to the new demands and style of Arne Slot next season.

The Dutchman is likely to bring a high-energy style of play to Anfield which will suit Trent, but the burning question is whether he will return to right-back or be pushed into midfield.
The midfield experiment certainly hasn’t worked for Southgate at England.
