Liverpool's SIX contenders to succeed Jurgen Klopp
Finding Jurgen Klopp's successor was never going to be an easy task. The German has left big boots to fill and, while taking over the reins at Anfield may be an exciting prospect for any aspiring manager, acquiring a coach to step in to replace Klopp is seemingly proving a difficult task for sporting director Richard Hughes and CEO Michael Edwards.
After the disappointment of missing out on Xabi Alonso, it appears Liverpool have also been dealt a blow in their bid to land Ruben Amorim as their next manager. The in-demand Sporting Lisbon boss has this week been on a flying visit to London to meet with representatives at West Ham.
He arrived in the capital on Monday and spoke with Hammers' executives about a potential deal to take over from David Moyes, according to CNN Portugal. The 39-year-old returned to Portugal on Tuesday, and was met by journalists who pressed him on his future. While he laughed off their questions, Portuguese news outlet A Bola are claiming that West Ham have offered him 'considerably more' than what Liverpool tabled.
But money isn't everything, with West Ham also set to give him the 'freedom to build his squad as he wishes'. That whole package could prove to be a big lure for the Portuguese manager and it is understood that Amorim could be available to the English club for around £12.8million.
The 39-year-old has repeatedly dismissed claims that he could become the next Liverpool boss and it is now looking less likely that the Merseyside club will land him in the summer, meaning Edwards and Hughes will have to look elsewhere - but who is still in the running to succeed Klopp?
