Another name emerges in Liverpool’s hunt for new manager

Liverpool’s quest for a new manager as Jurgen Klopp’s successor has taken an intriguing turn as several high-profile names emerge as contenders for the soon-to-be-vacant managerial role.

Reports suggest that Ruben Amorim, the Sporting Lisbon manager who clinched the title in 2021 and is on course to repeat that achievement this season, is being touted as a potential candidate to take over the reins at Anfield.

Additionally, Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi has been labeled as another top contender for the prestigious position, with Liverpool reportedly utilizing data analytics to compile a list of potential options.

In a surprising twist, Thiago Motta has emerged as an unexpected candidate for the Liverpool managerial role.

The former Italy international, who impressed in managerial roles at Paris Saint-Germain’s youth setup and later at Spezia before taking charge at Bologna in 2022, has garnered attention for his achievements with the Serie A side.

Liverpool’s representatives were reportedly present at Bologna’s recent clash against Inter Milan, where Motta’s tactical approach and style of play caught their eye in their search for a new manager.

According to transfer correspondent Dean Jones, Motta’s football philosophy has intrigued many at Liverpool, despite him being considered an outsider for the position.

In a recent interview with TMW Radio via Calcio Mercato, Motta’s agent, Alessandro Canovi, hinted at interest from top European clubs, including Liverpool. Canovi revealed that Motta’s contract with Bologna is set to expire, sparking speculation about his future.

While internal discussions at Liverpool have reportedly included Motta as a potential candidate, he is currently viewed as an alternative option in their search to replace Klopp.

Nevertheless, Motta’s success with Bologna has not gone unnoticed, with other clubs like Manchester United also taking note of his achievements.

As the search for Klopp’s successor continues, Liverpool’s hunt for a new manager remains open to various options to ensure a seamless transition at the helm of the Premier League leaders.
