Liverpool are actively seeking a replacement for Jurgen Klopp ahead of his departure in the summer. Ruben Amorim has emerged as a frontrunner for the position, signaling a significant development in the club’s search for a new manager.
It was a shock for everyone when Klopp announced his departure earlier this year, following that news Xabi Alonso was one of the favorites to take over this position.
But shortly after those speculations Xabi Alonso ended those beliefs and said he will not leave the Bundesliga leaders this summer.
This development has stirred up speculation, with several managers rumored to be in contention for a move to Anfield.
Ruben Amorim in Liverpool’s Consideration for Klopp’s Replacement
Amorim’s reign at Sporting has been remarkable. With over four years in charge, he’s poised to secure a second Liga NOS title.
Sporting leads the league by four points, with a game in hand, boasting 152 wins out of 215 matches under his leadership.
Amorim is the front-runner considered for this role. ‘Cityzens’ manager Pep Guardiola considers Amorim as one of the best in the business.
According to a report from the Portuguese outlet CM Journal, Liverpool are scheduled to hold a meeting with the representatives of Ruben Amorim on Tuesday.
The purpose of the meeting is to persuade the Portuguese manager to consider a move to one of Europe’s leading clubs.
Amorim’s Agent’s Message to Sporting After Liverpool Meeting
It is believed that Amorim’s agent Raul Costa will meet Sporting after the meeting with Liverpool.
He plans to ‘persuade’ the Portuguese club to allow Amorim to join Liverpool in the upcoming summer transfer window.
Amorim will surely adapt his attacking style of football at Liverpool with a strong strike force. Edwards and Hughes are considering Amorim for Liverpool. Is he the right choice? It’s uncertain for now.
