Liverpool eyeing 39-year-old manager who has impressed them with two qualities

Posted by

Liverpool are already planning for life without Jurgen Klopp and they are looking at potential candidates who could replace the German next season.

According to a report from A Bola via SportWitness, Liverpool are keeping tabs on the Sporting CP manager Ruben Amorim. The 39-year-old Portuguese manager has done an impressive job at Sporting CP and he is being closely monitored by several European clubs. Liverpool are monitoring him as well and they are thought to be impressed with his leadership qualities and game model.

The Reds have been linked with Xabi Alonso and Roberto De Zerbi as well. It will be interesting to see who Liverpool end up appointing.

Amorim has impressed with his free-flowing attacking approach at the Portuguese club and he could be an interesting fit for Liverpool as well. Liverpool have the personnel to execute his style of football and the 39-year-old manager could be attracted to the idea of managing them if there is a concrete proposal on the table.

Amorim might feel that he can achieve his ambitions with a move to Liverpool. He will be able to compete for major trophies and the Reds have the resources to put together a top class team as well.

It will be interesting to see if Liverpool follow up on their interest with an official approach at the end of the season. Replacing Klopp will be very difficult for any manager but Amorim is certainly one of the most talented young managers in the game and he has a bright future ahead of himself.
