Jurgen Klopp's successful reign at Liverpool is coming to an end and the Reds are being heavily linked with Sporting Lisbon coach Ruben Amorim as his most likely replacement.
Xabi Alonso was the early favourite to be the next boss at Anfield but the former midfielder has committed himself to Bayer Leverkusen.
Roberto de Zerbi and Amorim are the two names being most strongly associated with the job and while the Brighton manager is well known to the majority of Reds fans, the Portuguese is more of an unknown quantity.
But while he is not yet 40, he already has considerable pedigree.
