Amorim denied last week that there is any agreement in place with the Reds to become the club’s new manager. The 39-year-old though has not ruled out leaving Sporting this summer, and fellow countryman Caixinha believes he would be ready to take the Anfield job.

“Rúben Amorim is ready for Liverpool and I don’t think he’s too young,” Caixinha told Portuguese outlet Bola na Rede. “He has maturity, footballing experience, knowledge and preparation.

 

“There’s been a lot of talk about his preparation, because he didn’t have a Pro Licence and he was on the bench. He was, if I’m not mistaken, the only national champion to then finish the UEFA Pro course and, as far as I know, he did it with the same humility and naturalness.

“He had already completed a postgraduate course. He’s a person who wants to graduate and believes in what he does. He’s very proud, incisive, but he knows that the path is there and it’s for him, and that everyone has to follow it.”

Koopmeiners was a standout performer as Atalanta shocked Liverpool to take a 3-0 lead into this week’s second leg in Bergamo. The Reds have also been touted as a possible destination for the midfielder, who has already told his club he wants to leave in the summer.

 

According to Gazzetta dello Sport last month, Liverpool has been monitoring Koopmeiners, and his performance last week wouldn’t have done him any harm. Atalanta would reportedly be looking for around $54m (£43m/€50m) for his services.
