Tottenham star Pedro Porro has tipped Ruben Amorim for the top and likened the Sporting head coach to Ange Postecoglou amid speculation he could take charge of Liverpool in the summer.
Amorim, 39, is regarded as one of the finest young managers in European football and has reportedly been identified as Liverpool’s first-choice candidate to take over the reins from Jurgen Klopp.
Xabi Alonso had been the clear favourite for the job but effectively ruled himself out of the running by committing his immediate future to Bayer Leverkusen, the newly crowned Bundesliga champions, last month.
Recent reports emanating from Germany indicated Amorim had been offered a three-year deal and reached an agreement in principle to manage the Merseyside giants.
However, the Portuguese vehemently denied these rumours last week, insisting he remained fully focussed on the remainder of Sporting’s season, with the club sitting seven points clear of champions Benfica at the top of the Primeira Liga table.
Amorim steered Sporting to the club’s most recent league title in 2021/22 and Porro played a key role after arriving on loan from Manchester City that season, making 30 appearances across the campaign.
Porro would spend a further 18 months in Lisbon before completing a move to Spurs and it’s clear the Spaniard has fond memories of his time under Amorim.
