Is Ruben Amorim Liverpool’s next manager?
The ex-Benfica star’s odds certainly shot up after Xabi Alonso announced his plan to stay with Bayer Leverkusen beyond the 2023/24 campaign.

There’s the possibility to consider, of course, that one of our Premier League rivals may also be keen on taking a look at the Sporting Lisbon boss’ profile.
Manchester United seem increasingly likely to consider alternative options amid their league struggles. Mauricio Pochettino’s future, too, can’t be guaranteed just yet in light of an appalling league campaign.
