Sporting Lisbon Boss Ruben Amorim Denies Agreement To Become Liverpool Manager
Sporting Lisbon manager Ruben Amorim has denied reports of him reaching an agreement to become Liverpool's next manager.
Liverpool will bring in a new man in the dugout next season after Jurgen Klopp announced that he will be leaving Anfield after almost a decade in charge.
Several reports earlier this week suggested that Amorim was in pole position to replace Klopp.
The 39-year-old is one of the most sought-after young managers in Europe, having impressed in almost four years in charge of Sporting Lisbon.
The Portuguese boss told a press conference: "This is the last time I'm going to talk about my future. There was no interview and certainly no agreement.
"The only thing we all want here is to be champions with Sporting, nothing will change. I'm the Sporting coach and there was no interview or agreement with any club.
"I'm just focused, as always, on representing my club. As I no longer have anything else to say…
"There will be no interviews or agreements with the Sporting coach. The matter is completely resolved, whether related to this club or another."
Sporting Lisbon are four points clear at the top of the Portuguese league table with seven matches to play and a game in hand.
