Ruben Amorim is open to replacing Jurgen Klopp
When Klopp announced he’ll leave Liverpool at season’s end, the Reds hierarchy wasted no time installing Bayer Leverkusen’s Xabi Alonso as their number one target.
However, Alonso, 42, ended all speculation he’ll return to Anfield as manager last Friday when pledging his loyalty to Leverkusen for at least one more season.
That decision has gone down like a lead balloon with one pundit who questioned Alonso’s manhood. Liverpool have taken the news rather more gracefully and have turned their attention to Amorim as well as Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi.
Of the two it’s understood Sporting CP boss Amorim is favoured. Furthermore, the BBC recently detailed three reasons why Amorim is a superior manager to Alonso despite being so young (39 years old).
Now, according to Portuguese outlet Correio de Manha, Amorim is open to accepting the Liverpool job, if it’s offered, of course.
