Liverpool is back as a '39-year-old master' → contract until 2027

Juvene Amorim, who is growing his reputation in the Portuguese league.

Sky Sports German reporter Florian Flettenberg reported on his social network service (SNS) on the 9th that "Amorim, who is leading Sporting Lisbon, has reached a principle agreement with Liverpool," adding, "Liverpool has pushed for Amorim's contract over the past few weeks, and Amorim also wants to coach Liverpool next season."

"My contract with Amorim could last until 2027. The final negotiations between Liverpool and Sporting are still pending. The deal is not yet complete," he said. "At this point, we need more steps. There is still a possibility that this negotiation will fail. Bayern Munich has also put Amorim on the list, but he has never approached it."

Amorim, a young Portuguese leader born in 1985, is one of the most sought-after coaches not only in Liverpool but also around the world. He led Sporting to the top of the league in the 2020-21 season, presenting the Premier League trophy to his club in 19 years. In the 2021-22 season, he made it to the round of 16 in the UEFA Champions League for the first time in 13 years.

Sporting are vying to win the league title again this season. With seven games to go until the end of the season, he is leading the league by four points ahead of second-place Benfica. As he has played one less game than Benfica, the gap could widen further.

Sporting want to continue their companionship, but Amorim has not promised to stay. In the midst of this, Jurgen Klopp, who has led Liverpool for nine years, has emerged as Klopp's successor as he declared that he will take down the baton at the end of this season.

Initially, Liverpool's No. 1 pick was Xavi Alonso, a former club member. Alonso also proved his leadership by making an unbeaten splash of Bayer Leverkusen this season and on the verge of winning the club's first Bundesliga. Teams seeking a new coach next season, including Liverpool and Munich, aimed for Alonso, but he was recently excluded from the list as Alonso declared his stay at Leverkusen.

The candidate for Liverpool's next coach was also the current Tottenham manager Postecoglou.

Liverpool, which showed aggressive soccer with Klopp, wanted Postecoglou, who plays offensive soccer at Tottenham, as a replacement for Klopp. The Times of England explained that coaching Liverpool, one of the best clubs in Europe, can be attractive to Coach Postecoglou, and that he is leading Tottenham in fourth place despite the number of injuries.

He also said that it would be difficult to reject Liverpool's offer because Postecoglou was a fan of Liverpool as a child.

Postecoglou said of the rumor about Liverpool, "I think it's been only seven months since I came here," adding, "We still have a long way to go considering the football we want to play, the team we want to make, and the team we want to have."

"Of course, I can be on the preliminary list, but at this point, I don't think to put that idea in my life's priority and I don't have space to put it in my head. I can take it as a compliment depending on the situation, but it's just people talking about my name," he said, adding that he doesn't even think about leaving Tottenham.

"I can clearly distinguish what I do based on my 26 years of experience. For now, it is important to finish the season well with Tottenham and build the strong foundation our team needs. This is the result that we can bring only when we focus fully on the 14 games we have to play," he said. 토토사이트

However, reports of Liverpool showing interest were enough to make Tottenham fans nervous.

In the meantime, as Liverpool reached a principle agreement with Amorim, Postecoglou is likely to lead Tottenham next season. Although it is not a negotiated deal yet, Liverpool is also pouring everything into Amorim.
