Virgil van Dijk is widely expected to retain the captaincy as Liverpool begin a new era under Andoni Iraola.The race to become Liverpool's next vice-captain is officially on.

Joe GomezJoe Gomez is one of Liverpool's longest-serving players, and that level of experience naturally puts him in the conversation for a leadership role. That said, if Virgil van Dijk remains Liverpool's undisputed captain, I would have no issue with Alisson taking on a prominent leadership role within the dressing room.The Brazilian goalkeeper is one of the most experienced figures in the squad, having won multiple Premier League titles, the Champions League and numerous domestic honours.

Added to that is the responsibility of being Brazil's number one, a role that brings immense pressure and expectation.If he were to be elected as the vice captain, then an on-field vice captain should share responsibilities. Arguably one of Liverpool’s standout performers during the 2025/26 season, the Hungarian has established himself as a key figure in the squad, consistently influencing games with his intensity and technical quality.His relentless work rate, competitive mentality and commitment to the collective make him a naturally respected presence within the dressing room, particularly among the club’s younger players.
