Xabi Alonso’s ‘no’ to Bayern Munich and Liverpool left our fanbase understandably disappointed but still optimistic over an alternative.
The 39-year-old Sporting Lisbon head coach very much seemed to fit the bill for what we’d be looking for.
Tactical brilliance, a willingness to develop young players, a charismatic presence… what’s not to love about Amorim?
Experience in a more challenging league is admittedly lacking, but it’s hard to imagine many other young managers ticking so many boxes.
