It is a big gamble , look at Man Utd , Ferguson hand picked Moyes
and that was the beginning of the end for them.
The game however has evolved since then and Amorim seems to be in the new batch of up and coming coaches ( along with De Zerbi and Alonso )
He is attack minded coach so his game plan won’t deviate too much from Klopp’s philosophy .
I’m sure he will want to tweak the squad with a couple of signings snd sales of players.
Not sure I agree with all of this tbh.
Man United were already on their way down during Fergies years, it was just his brilliance that saw them through it.
Behind the scenes they were a mess already and Moyes was just the beginning.
Amorim won't be walking into that. In fact, he's walking into the exact opposite in that the entire background is in very very good shape.
Does that mean he'll be a definite and immediate success? Of course not, but everything is in place to be.
I'd say he's up the top if not the top choice to replace Klopp.
We all wanted Alonso, but at the end of the day Amorim has done more and worked with less.
It does seem as tho he's closer to Klopps approach than Alonso which I think is good, and he's a real people's man.
We'll see tho. No guarantees of course. He won't be able to replace Klopp but hopefully he can bring a new taste to Liverpool.
I think he's less of a gamble than Alonso who was everyone's first choice. In fact, I'd say there are any other better choices than him?
I guess no new manager is a sure thing, so everyone is a gamble. But I wouldn't call hiring Amorim a "big gamble"
