The news of Liverpool’s search for a new manager has been in the spotlight since an emotional video announced the departure of the previous manager. After intense speculation, it is reported that the club has reached a verbal agreement with Ruben Amorim to take charge in the summer. Amorim joined Sporting from Braga in March 2020 and achieved notable success, winning the Liga Portugal title in his first season at the club, as well as two Portuguese League Cups and the Portuguese Super Cup. However, securing Amorim would not come cheap, as he is thought to have a £12 million release clause in his contract.
The potential appointment of Amorim has sparked discussions about whether he would be a good fit for Liverpool. His track record at Sporting has been impressive, but having only had a short spell at Braga prior to that, some may question his experience at the highest level of management. Additionally, it is unclear how his management style and tactics would align with the culture and expectations at Liverpool. Regardless, the Merseyside club seems determined to fill the managerial position, and negotiations with Amorim indicate that they are close to finalizing a deal.
With important decisions on the horizon, it will be interesting to see how the situation unfolds.
