Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher has identified Sporting CP’s Ruben Amorim as the ideal candidate to succeed Jurgen Klopp as the manager of Liverpool this summer. With Klopp set to depart at the end of the current season, speculation has been rife about who will take over the reins at Anfield.

Amorim, who has been linked with the job along with Brighton’s Roberto De Zerbi, has caught Carragher’s eye due to his track record of success. The former Liverpool player believes that bringing in a proven winner like Amorim could be a game-changer for the club.

“It looks like he is the favourite right now, I don’t have any inside information, but reading reports that is what it feels like. Looks like he is on for the double this season,” Carragher commented.

With Liverpool aiming to bounce back from a challenging season, Carragher sees Amorim as the right man to lead the team to success. His endorsement of Amorim over De Zerbi highlights the confidence he has in the Sporting CP manager’s abilities.

As the football world eagerly awaits Liverpool’s decision on their next manager, all eyes are on whether they will indeed make a move for Ruben Amorim to fill Klopp’s shoes. With Carragher’s endorsement adding weight to the speculation, the anticipation continues to build as the summer approaches.
