It’s obvious who Ruben Amorim should make his first signing at Liverpool if he becomes Jurgen Klopp’s heir.
The Jurgen Klopp era is coming to an end at Anfield. In nine years, Klopp has achieved success beyond Liverpool fans’ expectations when he was first appointed.
During his time, the German won everything he could with Liverpool and transformed the club from doubters to believers. Just as he said he would.
We all still hope that there will be an end to the fairy tale. Even after the disappointment of a draw at Old Trafford.
But now he is no longer in Liverpool’s hands. The matter is in the hands of the club’s title rivals, Arsenal. What Liverpool can do is plan for the future. And finding the best possible alternative to Jurgen Klopp. Why is Ruben Amorim the ideal player for Liverpool?
Ruben Amorim appears to be Liverpool’s favorite at the moment. The 39-year-old Portuguese coach has a proven track record and an impressive CV. Sporting Lisbon have claimed their first league title in 19 years and are on course to repeat the feat this season after beating rivals Benfica at the weekend.
In addition, Amorim plays at a high level of play similar to Jurgen Klopp and possesses similar principles in terms of playing philosophy. This will alleviate Liverpool’s problems in adapting to life after Klopp.
Most importantly, Amorim also values youth and gives many young players the opportunity to join the first team. Sporting CP released 25 players aged 21 or under during his tenure.
One of them is Pedro Goncalves. The 25-year-old has developed into one of Amorim’s most important players and has an impressive record under the Portuguese coach.
Under Amorim, Goncalves scored 126 goals in 170 matches. He has contributed a total of 30 goals in 41 matches this season.
Technically gifted and intelligent in front of goal, Goncalves was exactly what Liverpool lacked against Manchester United last weekend. The Reds are in desperate need of a player who can take advantage of scoring chances.
That is why Goncalves will clearly be Amorim’s first transfer if he is appointed as the club’s new coach.
