Liverpool places Rúben Amorim as second option after Xabi Alonso

 

Rúben Amorim gains strength among the group of candidates for the role of Liverpool coach next season. According to 'Independent', the Sporting coach is actually the second name on the list, right after Xabi Alonso, the primary objective with a view to replacing Jürgen Klopp - he has already announced that he will leave Anfield at the end of 2023/24 .

 

According to the British newspaper, Liverpool will bet on the current helmsman at Bayer Leverkusen, where he has been making waves. However, competition promises to be strong, as Bayern Munich, Manchester United and Barcelona will be looking for a new coach from next summer.

 

And this is where the name of Rúben Amorim appears. If target Xabi Alonso fails, Liverpool see the Portuguese as the "most desired" candidate, largely due to his "impressive" career at Alvalade. Something that gives him an advantage, for example, over Roberto De Zerbi, from Brighton. The same source adds that Amorim has aroused the interest of other major European clubs, although "without the same status" as those seeking Alonso.
