Liverpool’s Xabi Alonso alternative? Sporting boss Ruben Amorim identified as ‘most desirable candidate’ if Bayer Leverkusen coach seals Bayern Munich switch

Under the stewardship of chief executive Billy Hogan, Liverpool's managerial quest is in full swing. However, Alonso's potential move to Bayern Munich has prompted Liverpool to intensify efforts to look at alternatives and Amorim has emerged as the "most desirable candidate" to fill Klopp's shoes, according to The Independent.

Amorim has garnered significant acclaim for his achievements at Sporting, rejuvenating the club's fortunes and emerging as a standout candidate. While other contenders like Roberto De Zerbi are also considered, Amorim's track record and potential make him a compelling option for Liverpool's hierarchy.

Moreover, Liverpool's search extends beyond the managerial realm, with the club also seeking a sporting director. Klopp's departure is expected to prompt a restructuring of the club's sporting hierarchy.

Alonso is reportedly leaning towards Bayern and could potentially snub Liverpool. Nevertheless, the club remains resolute in its commitment to making a decisive yet prudent choice that aligns with its long-term vision and ambitions after Klopp's era concludes in the summer.
