Hammers boss David Moyes is set to leave the club at the end of the season, and Ruben Amorim is rumored to be the top choice to replace him. This news comes as a surprise to Liverpool, as they were pursuing Amorim after an exceptional season with Bayer. However, it now seems that the deal with Amorim may be off the table, potentially leaving Liverpool without their desired target. Amorim took over as Sporting’s manager in 2020, following a successful stint at rivals Braga where he won the Portuguese Cup.
He has led Sporting to the top of Liga Portugal, with a significant lead over their city rivals, Benfica. Liverpool’s pursuit of Amorim comes after the announcement that their current manager, Jurgen Klopp, will be leaving at the end of the season. The club had also considered Bayer boss Alonso as a replacement but he has chosen to stay in Germany, prompting their focus to shift to Amorim. Meanwhile, in the Premier League, Arsenal currently holds the top spot on goal difference, with Liverpool in second place.
This presents a potential challenge for Liverpool, as they navigate their manager search amidst the competitive season. In the midst of these developments, it is interesting to reflect on Liverpool’s potential loss in missing out on the opportunity to secure Ruben Amorim as their new manager.
