The Next Manager?

Exclusive: Ruben Amorim still wants PL job despite Liverpool & West Ham talks collapsing

Sporting Lisbon manager Ruben Amorim could still be keen on taking up a job in the Premier League despite things not working out with Liverpool and West Ham United.

That’s according to transfer news expert Fabrizio Romano as he spoke exclusively to CaughtOffside for his latest Daily Briefing column, with the journalist explaining that he could still see Amorim leaving Sporting this summer for a job with an English club.

Amorim has impressed during his time with Sporting and has long seemed destined for a job with an elite club, and Romano has acknowledged that he had some talks with Liverpool and West Ham, even though neither move materialised in the end.

Liverpool are now opting for Arne Slot instead, while West Ham have a number of other candidates on their list as David Moyes is likely to leave the London Stadium.

Amorim next club – where next after Liverpool and West Ham moves fall through?

Discussing the latest on Amorim’s future, Romano said: “At one point, it looked like Ruben Amorim was the frontrunner for the Liverpool job, but it was never a done deal, never something agreed. Liverpool spoke to Amorim’s camp, they had contact as Liverpool were informed of release clauses and details of his contract at Sporting, but he was just one of the candidates, never a done deal, never a verbal agreement, never the chosen one. It was a conversation and there was interest, that’s it.

“Still, Amorim would love to work in the Premier League. He’s still hoping for that solution, I’m told. Amorim will decide his future in the next weeks but he’s surely hoping for a job in the Premier League, despite Liverpool and West Ham talks collapsing.”

He added: “I think there is a 90% chance to see David Moyes leaving West Ham at the end of the season. This is the feeling. Then we have to wait for the formal steps and the formal meetings at the end of the season. But the intention internally looks very clear – West Ham are looking at candidates, so I see David Moyes leaving the club at the end of the season.

“In terms of Moyes’ replacement, they have multiple candidates at West Ham. We know they had a meeting with Amorim last Monday, but…there is no agreement at all it’s really far and it’s not going to happen. Then let’s see what’s going to happen with other candidates for example Hansi Flick could be a possibility…for example Paulo Fonseca, who is doing an excellent job at Lille.

“We’ve also had rumours about Julen Lopetegui but his priority is AC Milan, so as long as he’s in the race to become new Milan manager Lopetegui will wait for that opportunity. so let’s see what’s going to happen there but for sure West Ham are already in a process to appoint a new manager and I think this is more than likely for the summer.”

Probably a good thing. Not having to listen to their great ideas. 
 

Also pretty sure it was confirmed Amorin was in London for WHU talks? If its true he wants £10m a year salary (turned Liverpool off him), he won’t be coming here anyway.

Can't imagine Conte working with current board. Couple of bad results and he will say with his bad English something like: I am a winner but this is young squad we need to suffer for a couple of years, I'm not used to this. 

Will basically just take the payment for sacking after 6 months, 1 year...

Eventually some new manager will come and have better results but also because of the hard and unnecessary transitional period by Potter and Poch. 

They were brave to play with 4 atb even tho they knew results would be better with 3/5 at the back. But this is what we need. We didn't have any big success with 4atb for a decade. And no manager in the world would have it. Tuchel and Conte would never have guts to do it. They would play it safe but that wouldn't help us in the long run. This is why I respect Potter and Poch. Sacrificing for Chelsea future even though someone else will pick all the fruits.

Good please stay at Brighton

The season is finishing like I wanted. A improving in everything. This is the opposite of what we saw last season. We ended the season woeful. 

And because of this I want Pochetino to continue. Let him continue as we are on the up. Just focus on fixing the defense the summer. It is a priority above all else. 

The only manager I would take over Pochetino in a heartbeat is xabi Alonso. What that guy did is amazing, like what klopp did years ago. So if you can't get him then don't change. No other manager is a clear upgrade at this time. Forget about amorin, he is another AVB!

Tuttosport: Motta remains ‘Plan A’ for Milan but Conceicao idea is gaining momentum

So far they’ve only hired mediocre coaches , so they probably don’t want someone good

Flick and Mourinho arent good at all, Conte has too much history here and Amorim is just another wild gamble like Potter.

Suspect that "the project" takes away too much power from the manager's hand as in who to bring in and all that. They really a yes-man who will only coach the team, which is what they've been going after.

This is another aspect of the project that scares me a bit: imagine that a manager with the same philosophy of Pep becomes available; how would he be able to tweak the squad to his possession style for example? That'd demand selling and signing new players even if of similar quality, for the different characteristics.
