Liverpool have been showing interest in Sporting’s coach Amorim for a while now. While the media has been focused on Xabi Alonso as a potential replacement for Klopp, Amorim’s work at Sporting has not gone unnoticed. Under Amorim’s leadership, Sporting won their first league title in 19 years in the 2020-21 season and are currently leading the table by four points after defeating title rivals Benfica. This victory has generated speculation about Amorim’s future, with reports suggesting that talks took place with Liverpool.

While it’s uncertain whether these reports are accurate, Amorim has refrained from guaranteeing his stay at Sporting next season, mentioning that if the team does not win titles, he will leave, as he had promised the players.
