Since Jürgen Klopp announced he’s leaving Liverpool at the end of the season, many managers have been linked to the job, and Ruben Amorim is one of them.
Now since there’s also been many rumours saying Roberto De Zerbi could leave Brighton & Hove Albion in the summer, it’s been said that they also eye the Sporting boss as a potential replacemen.
The Lisbon media has been taking this possibility a little seriously, and on CNN, Sofia Oliveira has some comments on that. The quotes are from Mais Futebol.
The pundit claims Amorim may not yet be ready for a job like Liverpool, and Brighton might be a better destination at this stage of his career.
“I have doubts… even if I believe he can get there or reach that level, I have doubts,” said Sofia Oliveira.
“I think Brighton, for example, would be a much more stable door, which would provide more stability.
“One thing’s for sure: I think he’s still a coach with a high level of progression. I wouldn’t go so far as to say ‘this is the right manager for Liverpool’. I’m not sure.”
Recent reports from the Portuguese media claimed Amorim will soon be interviewed by Liverpool, while Brighton’s contacts seem more preliminary, although De Zerbi reportedly approved his arrival in the scenario he leaves.
Following his roles at Casa Pia and Braga, Ruben Amorim took charge of Sporting in 2020, and in his first full season there, they won their first league title in 19 years.
They’re still in the race for this season’s trophy, and they currently sit top of the table.
