Niko Kovac, a reported managerial target for Liverpool, has addressed rumors about a potential job offer. Following Xabi Alonso’s withdrawal from consideration, Liverpool was rumored to be considering candidates such as Ruben Amorim and Kovac to replace Jurgen Klopp. Speculation swirled around the former Bayern Munich and Wolfsburg boss as a potential candidate to join Liverpool in the Premier League after leaving Wolfsburg.

While reports suggest that Liverpool has not engaged in formal negotiations with candidates, Kovac and Amorim have confirmed that the club is conducting a thorough research process to find potential successors to Klopp. Kovac’s representatives have been in London recently, exploring opportunities with English clubs ahead of what is expected to be a busy summer of managerial changes. However, despite intensifying rumors about him succeeding Klopp, Kovac has denied any talks taking place. Similarly, Sporting boss Ruben Amorim, thought to be the leading candidate for the role, has dismissed talk of moving to Anfield and reaffirmed his commitment to Sporting.

Alonso’s future with Bayer Leverkusen led to Liverpool turning their attention to Amorim, who has emphasized his focus on Sporting and denied any formal discussions or agreements with other clubs. As Liverpool’s candidates distance themselves from the top job at Anfield, the club may need to reconsider their options. Despite being out of work and reportedly interested in a Premier League position, Kovac has denied any negotiations with Liverpool as his representatives seek new opportunities.
