After the news that Xabi Alonso will stay for 1 more season at Bayer Leverkusen, the leaders of Liverpool are considering other alternatives for Jurgen Klopp's replacement at the head of the club's bench. Now, the English media have reported that Ruben Amorim of Sporting Lisbon is the name leading the race to take over the leadership of "The Reds".
The success of the technician in Portugal, as well as the style of play that Amorim has applied to Sporting Lisbon, have attracted the attention of many clubs in Europe, while in addition to Liverpool, Bayern Munich and Barcelona are also thought to be keeping Ruben under surveillance. That means Liverpool's bosses should waste no time if they really want Amorim to lead the Anfield bench next season.
Meanwhile, another option being considered is Brighton coach Roberto De Zerbi. The Italian has impressed with what he has managed to create under the guidance of the "seagulls" and many believe that the technician is ready to take the next step in his career, taking the leadership of an elite club. Another advantage of De Zerbi compared to Ruben Amorim is his experience in the Premier League. However, Liverpool leaders will take more time before coming to a decision on the club's next coach.
Meanwhile, as far as Xabi Alonso is concerned, the Spanish technician will be in charge of Bayer Leverkusen for at least one more season. The Spaniard said that he feels quite well in Germany, and that he wants to continue his work at the head of the club. Leverkusen is now 1 points ahead of Bayern Munich in the overall Bundesliga standings. Xabi's team is moving confidently towards the championship title.
