Liverpool’s Manager Search: Ruben Amorim the New Favourite

Liverpool Eyeing Ruben Amorim As Next Manager

Liverpool has been looking for a new manager, and it has been a bit frustrating, similar to how you need to always buy AA batteries for everything in the house. The focus has been on two potential candidates - Xabi Alonso and Ruben Amorim. Even though there have been reports that Alonso may continue his success at his current club, Bayer Leverkusen, and not move to Liverpool. It seems that Amorim is now the top choice to take over at Anfield. There was a list of candidates, but now Amorim is the only outstanding candidate. With Jurgen Klopp's exit, Liverpool is turning towards a new era under a new manager.

Ruben Amorim: Potential Coach For Liverpool

Ruben Amorim has been a revelation during his time as the manager of Sporting. He has already won one league title, and with Sporting currently leading the league by one point with a game in hand, it's clear that he has had a major impact. Amorim has turned Sporting into real contenders for major trophies, winning two Portuguese cups and potentially winning a second league title this season with only nine games left to play. This is an impressive achievement, especially considering that Sporting is often considered the third biggest team in Portugal. As a result of Amorim's success, players such as Gyokeres, Diomande, and Inacio have become hot targets for top teams in the premier league.

Mastering Strategy: Amorim's Effective Tactics

Amorim's methods at Sporting have been likened to those employed by Klopp. His team is well-respected for their strong defense, and in three of his last four seasons, they have allowed the fewest expected goals in the Primeira Liga. This is a hallmark of a coach who emphasizes a tough backline. His talent for maneuvering against big-name teams like Porto and Benfica demonstrates his tactical flexibility. However, even this season, his team has an exceptional goal-scoring record and is applauded for their attacking approach. It's reasonable to criticize Amorim's performance at the European level, but it's not fair to compare him to Klopp directly because he is a young coach who is still developing his skills.

Is Amorim's Clause The Key To Anfield?

Amorim has a release clause in his Sporting contract that's worth up to £17 million, a number that Liverpool can afford. This clause is important for Liverpool's pursuit of Amorim since the new CEO of Fenway Sports Group, Michael Edwards, places a lot of emphasis on managerial acquisitions. While it's suggested that Hughes will make the final decision on Amorim, it's likely that Edwards will ultimately have the final say.

Liverpool's Next: Amorim As Klopp's Successor

According to reports, Liverpool's future plans depended on whether or not Alonso would join Leverkusen. Unfortunately, it appears unlikely that he will. However, there is another strong contender for the job. Amorim has led his Sporting team to victory and has the qualifications necessary to take over for Klopp. At 39 years old, Amorim has the energy that matches Liverpool's dynamic style of play. He also possesses valuable strategies and the potential to continue and evolve Klopp's legacy. Liverpool fans are excited about the prospect of Amorim joining the team. If Xabi doesn't work out, Amorim is the clear choice. We'll just have to wait and see what happens.
