Since Jürgen Klopp announced he’s leaving Liverpool at the end of the season, many managers have been linked to the job, and Ruben Amorim is one of them.
Now since there’s also been many rumours saying Roberto De Zerbi could leave Brighton & Hove Albion in the summer, it’s been said that they also eye the Sporting boss as a potential replacemen.
The Lisbon media has been taking this possibility a little seriously, and on CNN, Sofia Oliveira has some comments on that. The quotes are from Mais Futebol.
The pundit claims Amorim may not yet be ready for a job like Liverpool, and Brighton might be a better destination at this stage of his career.
“I have doubts… even if I believe he can get there or reach that level, I have doubts,” said Sofia Oliveira. “I think Brighton, for example, would be a much more stable door, which would provide more stability.
“Now, it’s also true that football doesn’t wait, and you realise that there are also some players who sometimes jump to a level that, perhaps, we don’t immediately recognise their talent for, and then they manage to develop and settle at that level. So it’s all too much… luck is also needed.
“One thing’s for sure: I think he’s still a coach with a high level of progression. I wouldn’t go so far as to say ‘this is the right manager for Liverpool’. I’m not sure.”
