For weeks on end, it seemed like Liverpool were going to go all out for Ruben Amorim.

Arne Slot is now looking like Michael Edwards’ preferred choice for the Liverpool job, and it’s a move that could make even more sense for the Reds than Amorim.

But that is not the main reason why Liverpool have favoured Slot over Amorim.

Meanwhile, Slot guided Feyenoord to the Europa Conference League final in his first season at the club.

The fact that Slot does have that track record though of taking Feyenoord to a final, and overachieving in Europe would explain why he is favoured over Amorim.

It seems like things are moving rapidly with Arne Slot.
