Just now, according to the exact news brought by the British media Sky Sports, there is a very complicated situation regarding the change of manager of Liverpool. Originally, they were very close to agreeing with the Portuguese Sporting boss Ammorim, which seemed to be a perfect fit. Because Amorim is a bit similar to the team's current coach Jurgen Klopp in terms of coaching ability and coaching style. He is a perfect replacement.
But I didn't expect things to turn around, because Amorim's team was too demanding in terms of salary, which scared Liverpool off. It is reported that the two sides have held many negotiations around the change of coach, and the two sides have previously negotiated the contract period. Amorim wanted to sign a three-year contract, which Liverpool accepted. But then his agent, Lion, opened his mouth to fight for a £10 million annual salary, which Liverpool found unacceptable. The two sides were not able to agree on a salary, and negotiations broke down.
Objectively speaking, it is indeed a bit exaggerated that Amorim wants a salary of £10 million. Even Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool's current manager, is only £12 million a year. That's the price Jurgen Klopp has paid for years of service to the team and a lot of trophies. At the same time, tens of millions of pounds are paid in football, which is a figure that only a manager can get. Amorim has yet to lead Liverpool to a championship title and his coaching resume is not luxurious. It's a bit too idealistic to want to get such a salary. It can even be said that his team is a little greedy.
To date, Amorim has won three titles in his coaching career. As long as he wins the Portuguese Super League title this season, he will have four titles in his career. But such an achievement is not enough to earn a salary of tens of millions of pounds in the first time he joined Liverpool. Jurgen Klopp, who won the league title by beating Bayern in consecutive league games at Dortmund, did not have such treatment when he joined Liverpool. Amorim wants a high salary, and it's no wonder that the two sides eventually collapsed. For Liverpool, they have no time to rest after talks between current and potential candidate Amorim have collapsed, and the team must find a new candidate as soon as possible.
Because Jurgen Klopp left at the end of the season, if a suitable manager cannot be found, the team's results next season are very likely to decline, which is not desirable for the management. And according to Sky Sports, the Liverpool hierarchy is currently weighing a bold candidate. Looking at the transfer market as a whole, there are no suitable targets for the teams, and at this point they have in mind a manager with a lot of experience in the Premier League. That's right, he's Mourinho. Looking at the managers who can be hired in the transfer market at the moment, except for managers like Ammorim who are just showing their talents. The other candidates are indeed a bit lacking.
Although De Zerbi played his own style at Brighton, after all, he had never managed a big club, and Liverpool did not dare to risk it on him. On top of that, Tuchel is confirmed to be sacked from Bayern Munich, but he is now close to Manchester United. For Liverpool, there aren't many suitable managers to choose from. At this stage, there is only a manager with rich coaching experience and a certain level of ability and level, and only Mourinho is left. To some extent, the two sides are more suitable. Because in terms of Liverpool's current staffing, the form of the core players in several key positions of the team has declined slightly. If you want to completely open up a positional battle with the top teams, the team is more difficult. Their more appropriate style of play is to be based on defense and then counter-attack.
Liverpool's current style of players is of this type, so counter-attacking is in Liverpool's DNA. And Jose Mourinho happens to be an expert on this. If he can be brought in to coach, maybe the team will have a good effect next season. And Mourinho has a wealth of experience in coaching big clubs and the Premier League, which will make him better suited to the team. In short, Liverpool have started to try it at the moment. So in your opinion, if Jose Mourinho takes over Liverpool, what kind of results will the team play next season?
