Liverpool: Three coaches likely to replace Jurgen Klopp after Xabi Alonso's snub
Liverpool’s plans to replace Jurgen Klopp have suffered a setback after leading candidate Xabi Alonso opted to stay at Bayer Leverkusen, so who are the other coaches they can turn to?
Enter Amorim, the current coach of Sporting Lisbon, who has allegedly caught Liverpool's attention with his impressive performance metrics.
According to Portuguese football journalist Pedro Sepulveda, Liverpool held discussions with Amorim's agent to iron out the final details of a proposed three-year contract. Despite these advancements, the club has yet to formally approach Sporting Lisbon regarding Amorim's potential transfer.
When questioned about the speculation surrounding his future, Amorim remained non-committal, stating, "No, I can’t guarantee that. I don’t want to be talking too much about my future. But I won’t argue or put any pressure on Sporting, I owe the club a lot."
However, reports suggest that Amorim is open to Premier League opportunities, with multiple clubs monitoring his situation.
Amorim's coaching journey has been remarkable, starting with stints at Casa Pia and Braga before assuming the role of Sporting Lisbon's manager in March 2020.
His tenure has already seen Sporting clinch their first league title in nearly two decades, and the team currently leads the Primeira Liga standings, holding a four-point advantage over second-placed Benfica with a game in hand.
