Xabi Alonso: “I had a good meeting with Bayer Leverkusen and I informed them that I will STAY and continue at the club”.

“After lot of talks about my future, I used the break to reflect and make my decision”.

1) Amorim has achieved huge success with Braga/Sporting by outsmarting Porto/Benfica, with substantially bigger financial muscles, tactically.
Record: 1 Taca da Liga with Braga. 1 Liga NOS (first in 20 years for Sporting), 2 Taca da Liga, and 1 Supertaca with Sporting. (1/5)

2) He has an impeccable record at developing players, especially young players. Amorim has played an integral role in the career trajectories of Gyökeres, Ugarte, Matheus Nunes, Nuno Mendes, Porro, Palhinha, Diomande, Inácio, Pedro Goncalves, Edwards, Hjulmand, and Trincão. (2/5)

3) His football shares fundamentals with Klopp's; Possession-based, high-intensity football. Relentless pressing through a detailed pressing scheme. High defensive line. Sporting also leads Liga NOS in high-pitch recoveries, and is potent in scoring after winning it high. (3/5)

4) Amorim can play different styles of football. He usually builds from the back, mainly through CBs and CMs. But Sporting has also had success with a more direct style of play, too, with Gyökeres being key with his hold-up play and ability to run in behind (4/5)

All of this; the youth development, the tactical intelligence + versatility, the fundamentals shared with Klopp, and the consistent results make a stronger case than De Zerbi, who, albeit successful last year, has struggled with consistency and the same tactical versatility (5/5)

This is, of course, a subjective opinion that Amorim is the most exciting option after the news of Xabi not leaving Bayer Leverkusen. The thread is an argument for the thesis that Amorim is a better alternative than De Zerbi and the other managers rumored for the Liverpool job.
