Ruben Amorim has been linked with a move to Anfield, and Fulham star Joao Palhinha believes that he would have no problems winning over the support of the Liverpool supporters if he joins the club. The Sporting boss is the favorite to succeed Jurgen Klopp at the end of the season.
Klopp announced in January that he is set to leave the Reds due to running out of energy at the club. This has sparked Liverpool into the managerial market, with ex-midfielder Xabi Alonso being earmarked as a top target. However, Alonso ruled out a move to Liverpool, which led them to turn their attention to Amorim, who has impressed at Sporting this season.
Reports suggest there is confidence around Liverpool’s negotiations with the manager. Fulham star Palhinha, who worked with Amorim at Braga and Sporting, is confident that his ex-boss has what it takes to thrive on Merseyside. He mentioned that Amorim is used to coping with big pressure as a coach fighting for titles, and his style of play is conducive to a new challenge.
The positive review from Palhinha is encouraging for Reds supporters, and with a spending spree anticipated at the club over the summer, it remains to be seen whether the Fulham maestro re-emerges as a midfield target.
