Liverpool Football Club is on the brink of appointing Sporting boss Ruben Amorim as Jurgen Klopp’s successor, according to reports from Sky Germany. The 39-year-old manager has reportedly agreed verbally to a three-year deal with Liverpool, marking a significant move in the club’s managerial transition.
Amorim’s potential appointment comes after Klopp’s announcement earlier this year of his impending departure from Anfield. Klopp’s tenure at Liverpool saw remarkable success, including winning the Champions League, Premier League, and other prestigious titles.
Despite reports of an agreement in principle, Liverpool sources have deemed the claims “wholly inaccurate,” emphasizing an ongoing evaluation process involving multiple candidates. However, Amorim’s strong track record and tactical acumen make him a compelling choice for the role.
Amorim’s coaching journey has been marked by notable achievements, including guiding Sporting to their first league title in nearly two decades. His success has attracted interest from various clubs, with Bayern Munich and Chelsea also linked to the Portuguese manager.
While finalizing the deal between Liverpool and Sporting remains pending, the potential appointment of Amorim underscores Liverpool’s commitment to securing a capable successor to lead the club into its next chapter.
