Last January, Jurgen Klopp surprised the football world by announcing his departure from Liverpool at the end of the season, almost nine years after he took office. So the club's leaders have drawn up a list of coaches who are likely to take charge of him. At the forefront of this is Xabi Alonso, the former Reds player between 2004 and 2009, and the coach of Bayer Leverkusen, with whom he has played a historic season so far. But knowing that other big teams have their sights set on the Spaniard – including Bayern Munich where he retired – Fenway Sports Group will be keeping an eye on Ruben Amorim.
With a successful short spell at SC Braga and an adventure still ongoing with Sporting CP, the young Portuguese coach has a strong reputation in England. According to information from journalists Paul Joyce and Bruno AndradeThe person seen in the Brighton squad as a potential successor to Roberto De Zerbe should be called up for a meeting with FSG. But nothing indicates that this invitation will be accepted, let alone that it will lead to a decision based on the former Lusitanian international if he responds to it.
