Handy Thaigo replacement too. I saw some of his passes on the Levekusen training ground recently. He's still pinpoint!

Saw that, doesn't want to hand over the best passer title, but he might have a change of heart when he meets Trent.
Besides Xabi, Amorim is the other name on my preferred list. He ticks a lot of boxes. (He would "know" Nunez and Diaz well too.)
Started following Amorim since 2022.

‘He will be an unavoidable name in European football’ – Ruben Amorim, Europe’s next supercoach?
Contracted till 2026, €20m release clause - that's him ruled out then.
'Won't be an impediment' - €20m clause won't stop Liverpool hiring manager, youth progression seen as a plus - Sport Witness
Sporting Club de Portugal manager Rúben Amorim is part of the shortlist being looked at by Liverpool as they plan for life post Jurgen Klopp. That’s according to Correio da Manhã’s Weekend edition, who say the manager’s €20m release clause ‘won’t be an impediment’ for the Reds. According to them...
Rúben Amorim está na lista do Liverpool
Técnico vinculado até 2026, com uma cláusula de 20 milhões de euros para Inglaterra.

He's a total cunt. No thanks.
Exactly. He is a winner, but his football is Dyche-like.
Yes, that would be hell. He's who you appoint if you want a shot at a cup and your team is fucking shit.
I think I'm inclined to agree. Part of me thinks he could potentially be "our cunt" but, nah, I'll pass.
Allegedly on double Klopp's currently salary (£30m vs £15m) so FSG may not be tempted
Really? Ralph and potter?
I mean, they're decent but...really?
I'm
1. Xabi
2. Amorim
3. De zerbi
Bold choice. I worry he could be a Moyes, who is an excellent manager, but not a big enough personality for a top club.
I would take De Zerbi next. So impressive how quickly shifted from Potter-ball, which was good, to his style. Potter was the best manager Brighton ever had. He must be an excellent communicator and instantly grabbed the confidence of the players almost instantly. It took him three games. This year, he loses much of the spine of the team (Colwill, Mac, Calceido, Trossard) and they have barely missed a beat, while adding demands of Europe.
Yes and Hassenhuttle is above Potter by some distance. The reason why he's my new no, other than the fact that I totally forgot about him is that his style is very similar to Klopp's. Here's a quote from him:
“[Klopp and I] did our coaching badges together and we know each other very well,” Hasenhüttl told bundesliga.com in an exclusive interview. “I think we appreciate a similar philosophy on football – we want to play a high tempo game, we want our guys to sprint around, press well and these are elements which make the game livelier and varied and get people excited.”
He has experience from top flight football as a player and as a manager. He's had good times and bad times at Southampton, wasn't really backed by the board. The biggest stylistic change is that he plays a sort of 4-2-2-2 line up, but I don't see him as the rigid kind. He'll adapt if he gets the job.
Yes De Zerbi has done an impressive job at Brighton, but if I'm being honest I think Potter laid the foundation for him. Yes, he lost a few players but it's not like he started from scratch.
I always knew that the Chelsea job was too big for Potter. It's a Hollywood club, filled with big ego's. It's like when Benitez went there, couldn't really instil his philosophy and never got the respect from the players despite saving their season.
It's a club of cunts, by cunts and for cunts.
No, for me Ange taking over is a bit like Brendan Rodgers taking over but a little less embarrassing.
Agree
Really fucking embarrassing - we'd all have to face DB
I'm afraid that it's going to be another Villas Boas situation. Nagelsman taking over after someone like Klopp, will the players respect him? He's just a few years older than Van Dijk and Salah.
He is very young, but has been coaching for 14 years since having to quite due to injury - so in that sense, as a coach he’s pretty experienced.
I dunno, I think I’d prefer him to a lot of the names mentioned - he’d be on my shortlist along with Xabi & De Zerbi.
I’d certainly prefer him to Ralph Hasenhuttl.
I’ve seen Thomas Frank mentioned - and not by KHL surprisingly!!!
I don't know about that, at least Hasenhuttl has PL experience so we dont have to worry about that bit. Still, Xabi is the obvious choice for me.
And yet, Xabi has less experience than Negalsman and equally no Premier Keague experience.
I think playing in the Prem for 6 years counts for something.
I mean, it might, but he left almost 15 years ago, so I don’t know how much.
Fun fact - the only manager to have won the Premier League and play in the Premier League is Roberto Mancini - couple of games on loan to Leicester.
Prior to that it was Dalglish and then you’re out to people like George Graham.
So.. playing in the Premier League doesn’t appear to be a requisite to be successful as a manager.
Congratulations..you have just reached peak clutching for reasons not to appoint Alonso.
Nagelsmann was sacked from Bayern, official reason was they were terrible in close games and a bad culture fit.
The unofficial reasons were the players hated him and he was leaking stories to the press.
Do you really want that instead?
