Liverpool’s quest for a successor to Jurgen Klopp has taken an unexpected turn with Xabi Alonso confirming his commitment to Bayer Leverkusen, leaving Ruben Amorim as a leading contender for the managerial role at Liverpool.

If appointed, Amorim’s tactical preferences, particularly his inclination towards a back three/five system, could prompt a significant transformation in Liverpool’s playing style.

How Amorim May Change Liverpool?

In defense, the formidable duo of Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate is expected to be augmented by Ousmane Diomande, a standout center-back from Amorim’s current club, Sporting. The Ivorian is wanted by Arsenal and Chelsea, while Liverpool have also been linked with a move.

His Sporting team-mate Goncalo Inacio has been touted for a switch to Anfield too, but Diomande is probably the bigger talent as things stand and he could follow Amorim from Portugal.

This defensive reinforcement could provide Liverpool with added solidity and versatility, potentially reshaping their defensive structure.

Recently, Trent Alexander-Arnold has shifted to midfield, but there is a possibility that Amorim could modify his position once more by utilizing him as an attacking right-wing-back.

Similarly, Andrew Robertson is expected to undertake a similar role on the left flank.

Amorim’s midfield setup may feature a double pivot consisting of Alexis Mac Allister and Wataru Endo, offering a balance of defensive solidity and creativity.

However, the emergence of Curtis Jones could provide competition for a starting position, while Dominik Szoboszlai could struggle for minutes.

In the attacking department, Mohamed Salah is expected to play in an inside right forward role, akin to his best position, while Luis Diaz is expected to operate on the opposite flank.

Up front, Darwin Nunez is anticipated to lead the line, capitalizing on his goal-scoring skills and physical presence to spearhead Liverpool’s attacking department.

This tactical shift under Amorim signifies a departure from Klopp’s high-intensity pressing game, instead prioritizing defensive solidity and tactical flexibility.

While the adjustment may require time for players to adapt, it could offer a renewed tactical dimension to Liverpool’s gameplay, enhancing their competitiveness in domestic and European competitions.

With a blend of defensive reinforcement, midfield dynamism, and attacking potency, Liverpool under Amorim could pose a formidable challenge to their rivals, revitalizing their pursuit of silverware and reaffirming their status as a dominant force in world football.

The possible line-up of Liverpool under Amorim could be:

GK: Alisson

CB: Ibrahima Konate

CB: Virgil van Dijk

CB: Ousmane Diomande

RWB: Trent Alexander-Arnold

CM: Alexis Mac Allister

CM: Wataru Endo

LWB: Andrew Robertson

RW: Mohamed Salah

ST: Darwin Nunez

LW: Luis Diaz
