The reasons Liverpool declined to hire Ruben Amorim

Liverpool looked at Sporting CP boss Amorim when they were looking to replace Jurgen Klopp.

Ultimately, the Reds agreed to sign Arne Slot of Feyenoord instead.

Why Liverpool walked away from Amorim is revealed in a report.

According to rumours, Liverpool authorities were worried about how Ruben Amorim’s favoured strategies would be implemented at Anfield.

Liverpool compiled a new shortlist of possible candidates to succeed Jurgen Klopp as manager after top target Xabi Alonso declared his intention to stay with Bayer Leverkusen. Amorim was regarded as a leading contender for the position.

But in the end, Liverpool chose against Amorim and made a deal with Arne Slot of Feyenoord, who would be moving to Anfield this summer.

Sky Sports claims that although Amorim’s preferred tactical configuration—a three-man defense—won over those in charge of the manager search, Liverpool were nonetheless impressed.

There were worries that Liverpool would find it too tough to abandon their four-at-the-back defensive at this point and that the tactical change would have a big influence on the team’s long-term goals.

Liverpool’s academy teams are structured to emulate the first team’s strategies, therefore a number of young teams have concentrated on honing a four-man defensive. Moving away from this would result in serious issues lower on the pyramid.

Even if it’s clear that Liverpool’s summer strategy would change, the people in charge of selecting the new manager didn’t want to take any actions that would upset the current team’s equilibrium.

Feyenoord’s Slot, whose setup has even prompted similarities with Klopp in recent years, is what the Reds have chosen to pursue instead of moving forward with Amorim and potentially facing major tactical changes.

With his penchant for using a 4-2-3-1 configuration, Slot is known for playing fast-paced, attacking football with a strong emphasis on pressing. It is hoped that the first team and any academy teams below them won’t have too much trouble adjusting to this new style.

Amorim may perhaps find himself playing in the Premier League. Chelsea has long been a fan of the Sporting manager, and West Ham United had discussions with him. Amorim later acknowledged that he made a “mistake” by answering the phone.

Liverpool and the new managerial target schedule another meeting

Even if Liverpool isn’t in a hurry right now, they obviously need to act fast if they want to have Jurgen Klopp’s replacement at Anfield in a timely manner.

When his contract expires on June 30, the German coach, who has brought a new era to the team, will step down and is anticipated to take a well-earned break from coaching.

Any next manager will have the challenge of developing the team that Klopp assembled in addition to continuing Liverpool’s reputation for playing free-flowing football.

Since it won’t be an easy process, Michael Edwards and the board need to make sure the appointment is perfect.

A new meeting has been scheduled for the managerial target at Liverpool.

Ruben Amorin of Sporting was formerly thought to be the player that might lead the team to success, but it appears that the 39-year-old Portuguese isn’t the front-runner right now.

In an interview with CaughtOffside for his exclusive Daily Briefing, Fabrizio Romano claims that the Reds have set up a follow-up meeting with Arne Slot of Feyenoord.

With the Eredivisie giants, the 45-year-old has performed admirably, dropping just four games over nearly two seasons.

Slot is thought to be open to the change, but he’ll need thick skin to withstand the initial blow if things don’t work out as planned.

Naturally, that is only assuming things go that far.

Amorim is still a candidate and stays in the background, but it’s possible that other candidates will surface before the club decides who they want to lead the team going ahead.

In light of the approaching transfer window, it is advantageous for all parties involved if a quick resolution can be reached.

In this manner, a degree of continuity may be established as opposed to a managerial panic purchase that might upset the apple cart at Anfield
