Slot himself has all but confirmed he will be coming to Anfield.

Before that, Sporting manager Rúben Amorim was considered the favorite.

With two games to go, he has wrapped up the Liga Portugal title, his second in four seasons amid the usual battle with Porto and Benfica.

One thing that seemed certain was that Amorim would be on the move somewhere this summer.

With no disrespect to Sporting, his record appeared to have earned him a move to one of Europe's top five leagues, even if Liverpool had its reasons for preferring Slot — potentially including the Portuguese coach's commitment to playing a back three.

It appeared for a brief period that Amorim was bound for West Ham.

But he later apologized for the timing of that meeting, with Sporting still fighting to secure the title at that point, and a move to the London Stadium has not materialized.

Now, per ESPN, Amorim has told Sporting fans that he will stay at the club.

I dedicate it [league title] to all the Sporting fans," he vowed, having wrapped up the division.

But at just 39, there is no major rush, and there's only so far his stock can fall in a league where a top-three finish is about as safe as anything gets in football.

Should he secure a third league title, perhaps alongside a little bit of success in the Champions League, Amorim would find himself with almost a pick of clubs next summer.
