Defender Sebastián Coates, formerly of Liverpool, has a great connection with Amorim. The Uruguayan, therefore, can help in the process of convincing the Portuguese coach, a coveted name in the football market.
Coates played for Liverpool for two seasons and created an identification with the club. He has been at Sporting since 2015 and is Amorim’s trusted man. The coach can follow the Uruguayan’s advice.
The board, therefore, may have an advantage over the competition. Also according to “The Independent”, Amorim is a name on the agenda at Barcelona and Bayern Munich, who are also looking for a coach, and at Chelsea, where Mauricio Pochettino is playing.
Rúben Amorim is doing long-term work at Sporting – he took over the team in the 2019/2020 season – and took the club out of the queue in the Portuguese Championship. His style of play also draws attention.

With Klopp’s decision to leave at the end of the season, Liverpool is focused on finding a new commander. Xabi Alonso, sensation at Bayer Leverkusen, was the favorite. However, he will stay in Germany. Thus, Amorim’s name gains more strength.
