I don't think Liverpool have a big interest in Amorim considering his tactical display is quite different to how Liverpool have been building tactical foundation. Amorim likes to play 3 Center Back at the back line, while Liverpool don't play that way. If Liverpool hire Amorim, they will need to rebuild this tactical foundation, and this will cost the academy players who have been developing with that Liverpool's tactical foundation.

Arne Slot suits Liverpool comfortably with his ability to build a squad at Feyenoord and develop it to the top achievement. He has energic gesture and speaks english fluently. These are some important criteria to be Klopp successor. Anyone replacing Klopp will be under pressure to match what Klopp has achieve, and he will inherite a great squad, unlike Klopp, when he came to Liverpool, inherited an average squad.    

The coach Mourinho may not be interested in becoming the coach of Manchester United because he has already had a taste of the premier League and may be more interested in trying other leagues where he will not have to go through much stress.
Manchester United can seek and consider options from other clubs, coaches who are doing well and are willing to take the job to return Manchester United to successful ways.
Arne Slot from Feyenoord will become the coach of Liverpool from next season, Manchester United can start looking for choices now.

It is not yet clear which team Antonio Conte will be on next year.

Various rumors say he has done so at Napoli and many others still say he is in negotiations with Milan Juve Napoli and Manchester United.
He will probably go to Napoli but according to others Napoli is closing for Pioli who will almost certainly leave Milan.

It's fun to be a sports journalist, you can say news and maybe faking them without anyone being able to say anything against you.

however, this has been a wise decision that has been made by Xavi and in fact it is very sad to see that Xavi, a coach who is intelligent and has excellent skills in managing players on a popular team, has to continue to support himself in a team that can no longer develop due to problems. financial.
but what Xavi did this time should really open all Barcelona eyes to admit that Xavi should be respected and considered a hero for Barcelona.
the efforts that Xavi is currently making only feel depressed if he sees that Barcelona is going down the drain of losing such a reliable coach and decides to wait for Barcelona to get a new coach who is equal to Xavi.

Instead of having to wait for Xavi, Man United could still get another experienced coach and without me saying, we have all speculated that Man United would at least try to find an alternative like Mourinho.

I think this decision so early by Liverpool to me is perfect, they were actually after Rúben Amorim the Sporting Lisbon manager but his signature is looking to be a headache for them as even the likes of West Ham United also interested, I love the way Liverpool switch which stretching much in there and possibly end up wasting their time. Arne Slot has done a great job at Feyenoord but he will definitely be under pressure to manage Liverpool. This is in no way associated to the reason that he hasn’t managed any premier league club before even the Klopp himself who left a legacy here came without any premier league experience with Dortmund his biggest club managed. But yet he delivered with the support he had.

So right now what Liverpool fans need is to give him their support and not put him under any early pressure for success it might be a bit tough at first because he also coming to meet a shattered team that needs rebuilding

Arne this season did a very good job at Feyenoord which might be a consideration that he could be a good replacement for Klopp but honestly for this time as long as I haven't seen him at Liverpool I am still quite doubtful about his abilities.
Honestly I rarely see the Eredivisie except for a few matches and indeed a good situation in the Eredivisie does not necessarily end well in the EPL because the competition is still quite different in terms of quality but indeed when Liverpool have made their choice then we only need to see if Arne can really be the answer for Liverpool next season.

In addition, talking about the coach, it is certain that this will also not be separated from the news of Salah because if I remember correctly Salah allows extending the contract if his position is guaranteed and he must know who his future coach is. Now the future coach has been answered for Liverpool. the question is whether Salah will continue to extend the contract or look for new club options where he is also still in demand by clubs in the SPL.

I had way different candidates in my mind honestly. So I must say that I'm surprised to hear about Liverpool's choice. Arne Slot has had a good run with Feyenoord so far. However he doesn't have any Premier League history.

It is really difficult to predict what he can do with Liverpool for now as a result. It isn't easy to fill the space of a coach like Klopp. However I don't want to be prejudiced. There are some Dutch players in the squad too so maybe they can help Arne Slot adapt quicker. 

I agree that the chance for Liverpool to win EPL title is smaller now. Liverpool has wasted the chance for 3 points in 2 matches. They are defeated by Crystal Palace and Everton in the last 3 matches. I don't understand why Liverpool could lose full points in these matches. Liverpool may too underestimate their opponents, so they choose the wrong lineups on those matches.

Arsenal and Man City are competing for the title now. I think Man City has a better chance because they are more experienced team to deal with this situation. I just hope both Arsenal and Man City won't do the same mistake as Liverpool.

Anyway, this should be in EPL thread. 

The market value of Guimaraes is only around €85m. I think it is too expensive if Newcastle expects for €100m. Man United must think again if they want to sign Guimaraes with €100m. It is better to keep Casemiro than signing Guimaraes with €100m. Although Guimaraes is a top player, he still can't prove it with trophy in his current team.

Liverpool’s performances in their previous matches is the main reason why people gave up on them this season, if not they still have slim chance of winning the Premier League title just as Arsenal and Manchester City have.
Mathematically, if Arsenal and Manchester city can lose match while Liverpool win their next match, they will have another chance to see if they can win the Premier League title, but I don’t think Arsenal will afford to lose any match now. Manchester City and Arsenal will try everything possible to win almost all their remaining matches in the Premier League, but we all know that there is a tendency for any of them to drop point along the line, and anyone of them that drop point along the line, they should just say goodbye to the Premier League title this season.

According to his statistics bruno Guimaraes was played 32 times during this season which mean he was being an Newcastle key player because Eddie Howe was playing him for almost every matches in Premier League and actually Newcastle previously doesn't want to sell him because they feel bruno Guimaraes is important player for them but because Newcastle fear to gets FFP sanction so they were decide to sell Guimaraes and there are several clubs who showing their interest to Guimaraes such as Manchester City, Arsenal, Manchester United or even Liverpool

It says Newcastle demand 100 millions for Guimaraes and apparently Manchester United in the front line to gets Guimaraes and they looks very serious want bought him and this summer they will attempts to make a bid for Guimaraes and why Manchester United is really want this player because Ten Hag feel Guimaraes is very suitable as the replacement of Casemiro who possibly will leave Manchester United and go to Saudi Pro League besides that Guimaraes already know the atmosphere of Premier League so it's not difficult for him to adapt with Manchester United later

Ten Hag is obviously not good for them currently as the team keeps slacking back and they do not stop looking confused on the pitch. All his implemented tactics and strategies aren't okay off well for him and it's safe to say that as the head of the team, he's got the greater part of the blame to bear. Also consider the coach being at fault because many times he'd make a new strategy which in the end doesn't work for them, and then thesame strategy will still be repeated in other games.

 Not just tactics, both player combinations. Why on earth would a coach still keep implementing a strategy that's failed and isn't even bulging to make corrections? He's the manager and the bigger responsibility is on his shoulder. His job is on the line and if he's been unserious about it, then he should be set to embrace a sack. They've got quality players in the team, he should be able to maximize these players.

 Zinedine Zidane would be a preferable option for them even as they're aimed towards bringing the history making boss to join the team next season. Yes, he said he's done with the managerial task with Madrid seasons ago but it won't be harmful either if he opts to play a role in the English team's growth. United themselves know how much of a good impact his presence would bring and so by all means necessary they'd want to bring the tactical boss to their side. At thesame time, watch how much of a positive difference he would make for the team. It'll testifyingly be the best decision they'd ever make though so far. But let's hold on to that whilst watching if they'd be able to make the boss join them.

Objectively, Liverpool have 4 more matches left, the probability of things working out in such a way that they can win this season is extremely low even from a mathematical point of view. Arsenal still have a fighting chance if Manchester city lose a match or draw with someone. They still have a pretty good chance. Although Arsenal have tougher matches ahead of them than MC, I don't see a problem in winning, as they are stronger than all the opponents they will face at the moment

Hm, I agree with you. I am not really sure what to think about that as I thought they would go for someone more established. Or someone who is more similar to the character of Jurgen Klopp. Klopp can be a volcano and he knew how to get the Liverpool fans heated up and going. I can't really have any prejudices though as I have no idea who this guy Arne Slot is except for the fact that he did well with Feyenoord. I am probably spoiled when it comes to coaches from the Netherlands as the first guy who comes to my mind is ten Hag and I think he is garbage as a coach.

Manchester City would be interested, Arsenal are also rumoured to be interested in bringing the lad over, some fans have said he is too this and that but one thing they should have in mind is that it is not their personal used to purchase this lad and besides he is a quality midfielder' and would blend in well if they happen to sell of Thomas Partey next season

Manchester City asides him, also has plans for Jamal Musiala and Lucas Paqueta from West Ham United.

Bremer has been so solid for Juventus this season, bit the Premier League Competition would be much difficult andbi don't know how quickly he would settle in, but ye, Manchester United would need such a decent defender. I would love to see him patner up with Lisandro Martinez.

I am not excited by this appointment but I guess I will get behind him and support him.

I think the one who takes the biggest responsible is the sport director of the clubs, because they failed to put the right people in their positions that align with the plans and ambitions. Both Manchester United and Chelsea have big issue with their recruitment department considering many of their signing players perform under expectations after spending a lot of money. This is shown by the fact that their academy players have more contributions to the teams compered to new signing players.

Both clubs also have issues with their medical department. Constant injuries have hold the team back, many injuries could be avoidable if medical department work properly. All these fact show that the boards fail to put the right person for the role needed in the clubs. Manager can't work properly if they are not provided the right information and resources. However, manager are also responsible for the failing to adjust their decisions due to the situations.

It's true, Chelsea problems seem more complex than Manchester United, but the similarity between the two clubs lies in the fact that they both experienced setbacks. Transfer of ownership is one of the main causes, adjustments in building a vision and mission with a new owner always take time, and of course many things have changed along the way. In my opinion, that is what happened with Chelsea this season, apart from that, management policy in building the squad meant that Chelsea did not develop as quickly as expected. Apart from that, Manchester United also experienced fundamental problems like Chelsea, where in my opinion the process of transitioning their leadership was actually more uncertain, before Jim Ratcliffe finally took over.

I think everyone involved in the club takes their respective roles to be responsible for the team decline, especially the manager. Just as success is celebrated together, so suffering is shared together. But to become title contenders next season, both Chelsea and Manchester United should change their managers, because many believe Ten Hag and Pochettino are not the right people.

You're right. Man United and Chelsea have very complicated problems. Sure, it is not only about the manager (coach) but it is about the club management. There is something wrong with the management of Man United and Chelsea, they too often made the wrong decision in signing a new manager (coach). Man United/Chlesea management sometimes looked like trying their luck for a new coach, it is not a good way in managing a club. I think, the scout team of Man United/Chelsea should be changed or improved because they have the responsibility in determining a new coach or new players.

Yep. Good coach and good players are both important. If the club only have good players but they have no good coach, they won't play in a proper way although they have quality players. The perfect example of this is Bayern Munich. Meanwhile if the club have good coach but have no quality players, the coach difficult to push the team to play in a better level. Barcelona is the example of this condition.

Well, I am not totally exonerating Pochettino, he obviously has a major job to do and when there's progress he would be praised, if the reverse happens, he should be blamed. Let's just check a recap of the recent Chelsea journey and their coaches. Chelsea is known as a club that readily sacks her coaches, but I will start from the time of Tuchel.
From Tuchel Graham Potter;
From Graham Potter Frank Lampard;
Lampard was an interim coach too;
Now to Pochettino;
Will it be right if we say all the above coaches are not good? Ofcourse there is more to the problems apart from coaching.

Even in Manchester United, you will see there's a problem with the scout team and player management. Manchester United buys players like;
1. Return of Ronaldo
2. Calvani
3. Casemiro
4. Evans
As against Madrid who buys players like;
Vinicius,
Valveder,
Camavinga,
Bellingham
Etc.

Pretty sure that this is also what people say about Manchester United but you know the difference between Chelsea and Manchester United? Chelsea are far more inconsistent compared to Manchester United. Im gonna say it out loud, Manchester United sucks and yeah we sucks especially because we had a very incosistent defence line but with Chelsea the whole team is very inconsistent. They could win 4-0 today and lose 0-4 tomorrow so that is an issue that probably the coaching staff had right now so that responsibility lies with Poch
