Ruben Amorim’s dreams of joining Liverpool might not have ended as many people believe.
The Sporting Lisbon manager was rumored to be eager to join the Anfield team, as Jurgen Klopp is expected to end his nine-year tenure on Merseyside.
It has recently come to light that Francisco Varandas, the president of the Primeira Liga team, may have been instrumental in preventing the departure of his head coach.
There were rumors that the Reds’ management did not appreciate that he was forcing decision-makers to travel to London for negotiations with West Ham United.
Regarding the Portuguese head coach’s playing philosophy, strategies, and long-term suitability, there were also valid worries.
For these very valid reasons, sporting director Richard Hughes and football CEO Michael Edwards may have been given pause.
Given how potential Feyenoord’s Arne Slot seems as an appointment, Liverpool fans might not be too sad about the loss of this chance.
Whether the Merseysiders have chosen the proper candidate to replace Jurgen Klopp will only become clear in due course.
