Data shows that Rúben Amorim’s Sporting CP aligns more closely with Klopp’s Liverpool in key metrics than Arne Slot’s Feyenoord.
Liverpool acknowledges this but fears that Amorim might demand greater influence over transfer dealings compared to Slot.
Slot is characterized as a coach who focuses on coaching the team he has available, while Amorim is seen as a manager who might want more say in transfer activities. Hughes and Edwards are expected to retain more control over transfers in Liverpool’s new setup.
