At Craven Cottage stadium, fans were surprised to learn that two managers, Jose Mourinho and Vicenzo Montella, attended the match between Fulham and Liverpool in the 34th round of the 2023/24 Premier League season. Unlike Montella, Mourinho is considered one of the candidates to replace Klopp at Liverpool.

After this season ends, Coach Jurgen Klopp will leave Liverpool, ending a glorious 9-year tenure. According to Liverpool’s confirmation, they have already made plans to find a replacement for the German tactician.

Initially, Liverpool saw Xabi Alonso as their number one candidate. However, The Kop had to change course after the Spanish manager confirmed he would continue to stay with Leverkusen next season.

There is information that Liverpool has shifted focus to Coach Ruben Amorim. However, this deal has stalled as Amorim himself confirmed that there have been no negotiations with Liverpool and he respects his contract with Sporting Lisbon.

The Portuguese coach himself also stated: “I think this is the last time I will talk about my future. There have been no negotiations, let alone reaching an agreement. The only thing I want is to become champions with Sporting and nothing will change.”

Or like recently, Niko Kovac stated that there has been no contact with Liverpool. But most recently, the appearance of Jose Mourinho and even Montella at Fulham’s Craven Cottage stadium has made fans suspicious. Mourinho might have come to watch and support Liverpool. Similarly, Montella, the coach of the Turkish national team.

Compared to Montella, Mourinho is currently seeking a new job after being sacked by AS Roma. The Portuguese coach is already familiar with the English football environment, but the issue lies in Mourinho’s style, which is completely opposite to Liverpool’s – a club known for its strong attacking play.

Recruiting Mourinho is clearly a risky move for Liverpool, as his volatile temperament could potentially disrupt the dressing room at any time. Liverpool has not yet finalized who will replace Klopp. It is likely that everything will only become clear when the 2023/24 season ends.
