Ruben Amorim Liverpool manager move simulated as two trophies won
The search for the next Liverpool manager is underway, with Sporting CP's Ruben Amorim reportedly in the running to take over at Anfield in the summer.
After nine successful years on Merseyside, Jurgen Klopp has called an end to his time as Liverpool manager, with the German stepping back at the end of the season. Klopp has already won a trophy in his final season with the Reds, but the Premier League and Europa League both remain in sight.
Xabi Alonso appears to be the frontrunner for the vacancy, but Liverpool will face competition for their former midfielder, with both Real Madrid and Bayern Munich reportedly also interested. Another name that has emerged is Sporting's Amorim, with his fluid attacking style of football helping his side sit top of the Portuguese league.
