Liverpool are all ready to move to the next stage of their new manager search.

The Reds have been embroiled in a search for the right candidate to replace Jurgen Klopp ever since the German announced his decision to leave in January.

Over the months, the landscape of who will and will not be in the running at Anfield has changed dramatically.

Over the past couple of weeks, Sporting manager Ruben Amorim has been propelled into being the most likely candidate for Liverpool.

Doing excellent work in Portugal over the past five years, the 39-year-old looks set to win another league title, his second in four seasons.

After Alonso opted not to join Liverpool, there were even claims that the Reds had agreed a deal with Amorim to join.

But although the former Portugal international has not yet given the green light, journalist Ben Jacobs claims that it’s now ‘inevitable’ that he will be interviewed in the coming weeks.

“Ruben Amorim has now clarified he hasn’t yet had a formal interview to replace Jurgen Klopp,” Jacobs tells CaughtOffside.

Liverpool, as ever, have a process and aren’t going to rush anything or put all their hopes on one candidate alone.

The way they carry out these types of senior leadership and football appointments is a credit to the club.”

The intriguing part here is not necessarily that Liverpool will interview Amorim.
