Ruben Amorim: The Next Liverpool Manager?
Sporting Lisbon boss Ruben Amorim has found himself at the center of rumors linking him to a potential move to Liverpool to replace Jurgen Klopp. Despite the speculation, Amorim remains focused on managing Sporting and has shown little interest in discussing his future plans.
Liverpool, on the other hand, have already begun their search for a new manager following Klopp’s announcement that he will be stepping down at the end of the season. Bayer Leverkusen boss Xabi Alonso is the clear frontrunner for the job, but Liverpool faces competition from Bayern Munich, who are also keen on their former player.
Amorim has emerged as Liverpool’s preferred back-up option should they miss out on Alonso. The Portuguese coach is currently leading Sporting in the title race and has addressed rumors linking him to various clubs in the past, including Manchester United, Chelsea, and Tottenham.
Despite the speculation, Amorim remains focused on his current role and has not been contacted by Manchester United. Sporting is not expected to stand in his way if he decides to leave, as he is believed to have a release clause in his contract worth around €10 million.
While Amorim’s future remains uncertain, Liverpool fans will be eagerly watching to see if he could be the next manager to lead their team to glory. For more updates on this story and other sports news, stay tuned to Metro Sport.
