Just now, according to the exact news brought by authoritative journalist Fabrizio Romano, negotiations between Portuguese sporting coach Ammorim and West Ham United have broken down. He will not be the manager of West Ham next season and the chances of the two sides joining forces are zero. Meanwhile, Fabrizio Romano says there is an update in talks between Liverpool and Amorim as the two sides come very close to signing a three-year contract in the future.
It is reported that due to the very good results of leading the team at Sporting de Portugal this season, Amorim has been favored by many teams. Among them are giants of Liverpool's level. After all, it is not easy to be able to maintain the top of the table this season with a squad on paper, far inferior to Benfica and Porto. With only four league games remaining, seven points clear of second place, it is fair to say that it is only a matter of time before Sporting de Portugal wins the league this season. In the fiercely competitive Portuguese Super League, Amorim's coaching level is indeed worthy of recognition. That's why he's been spotted by Liverpool.
For Liverpool, manager Jurgen Klopp is set to end his managerial career here this season. At this stage, the team must change a new manager in time, otherwise it is very likely that the team will decline as soon as Klopp leaves, which the management does not want to see. Recently, they have been looking for the right candidate, and finally they have set their sights on Amorim. The 39-year-old manager's style of play and shaping of a team are in line with Liverpool's current hiring requirements. Especially his quality of being able to win a championship with a team that can only finish third in the league on paper. It's a bit similar to Klopp.
Liverpool need a manager with the same DNA as Jurgen Klopp, and Ammorim is clearly the right fit. According to Romano, formal talks have already taken place between the two sides, with the Amorim team making their demands. Liverpool need to offer Amorim a three-year contract with an annual salary of £10 million. Talks are currently underway over a specific annual salary, with Liverpool agreeing to a three-year contract, but will hopefully a modest reduction in salary. To some extent, the length of the contract is basically within Liverpool's acceptable range, but the salary requirements are a bit high.
The price of £10 million is not much different from the £12 million that Klopp is holding now. That's exactly what football's top managers are paying for, and it's obviously a little bit more expensive at the level Ammorim is currently showing. After all, Amorim has yet to prove himself in the big clubs. Judging by the three trophies he has won so far in his career, this salary is indeed a bit unworthy.
However, at the same time, Fabrizio Romano said that although Liverpool felt that the price was on the high side, there was a strong desire for both sides to join forces. In the end, the amount was probably lowered, and Liverpool would still shell out a salary of £800 or even £9 million. After all, there is no more suitable candidate at this stage, and if Amorim misses it again, the team's results next season are very likely to decline to a large extent. In order to avoid this, the top management was really forced to pay Amorim a high salary.
At the same time, for Amorim personally, his coaching career finally took a turn for the better this summer. After all, being able to take over a first-line giant like Liverpool at the age of 39 will greatly contribute to his managerial resume. If you can take Liverpool to play well and win a few titles. In the future, he has the potential to become one of the top managers in football, so he decided to seize this opportunity now. Considering that the message was brought by Romano, the authenticity is guaranteed. According to the feedback so far, Ammorim will become Liverpool's manager next. What do you think about this?
