Liverpool are reportedly pushing to close the deal to hire Sporting CP manager Ruben Amorim as the replacement for Jurgen Klopp.
The announcement of Jurgen Klopp’s departure and how he is becoming ‘tired’ of the Liverpool job has made the club and its fans sad.
Amid the sadness, the club authorities have taken the hard job of finding an adequate replacement for the German tactician.
The prospect of Xabi Alonso taking over the Anfield job has gone completely under the water. His decision to stay at Bayer Leverkusen has been loud and clear.
The saga to replace Klopp has become even more interesting as the names which are surfacing are quite convincing.
Brighton & Hove Albion manager Roberto De Zerbi’s name has emerged as a contender to succeed the successful German.
However, even after scoring really well on the initial data research, De Zerbi’s outward approach to player recruitment has made him slip down the list.
Ruben Amorim to Liverpool Confirmed?
The name which is currently at the top of the list for LFC is Ruben Amorim. The Portuguese manager has attracted many clubs’ interest.
Managing Sporting CP, the 39-year-old is making headlines for his successful conduct of the Portuguese side.
Even though many pundits and analysts were not convinced about the young manager’s recruitment back in 2020 from Club Braga, he has proven his worth.
Amorim has won Sporting the Primeira Liga at the end of his debut season and also landed two Portuguese League Cups and one Portuguese Super Cup.
The manager averages a 69.76% win percentage across his Sporting CP career. This proves that Amorim is a certified winner.
Recently Ruben Amorim made comments about his career on the Portuguese side stating,
“I can’t guarantee that I’ll stay at Sporting…”
Furthermore, an update from Portuguese journalist Pedro Sepulveda confirmed that the Merseysiders are ‘pushing to close the deal before the end of the season.’
This update solidifies the claims and hopes even further that the fate of Liverpool will be transferred into secure hands.
An ardent football fan and a proud Red. I take immense pleasure in analyzing the intricacies of the game.
