Liverpool are close to appointing Ruben Amorim as their next manager. Reports across Europe suggest that the club is nearing the end of their search for a successor to Jurgen Klopp, with Amorim emerging as a leading candidate.
Known for his fierce style of play and winning streak in Portuguese football, Amorim has attracted attention from elite clubs throughout the season. After Xabi Alonso confirmed his commitment to Bayer Leverkusen, Liverpool turned to Amorim as their top choice, with Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi also considered.
De Zerbi, who has experience in the Premier League, indicated a potential departure from Brighton prior to their recent match against Liverpool, hinting at a future away from the club. Amorim’s style of play is seen as more suitable for Liverpool, as it reflects a departure from Klopp’s fast and furious pressing and counter-attack approach.
This potential appointment signals a shift in the club’s football philosophy and could bring a new era of possession-heavy football akin to that of managers such as Pep Guardiola.
