Liverpool were reportedly ready to hire Sporting Lisbon head coach Ruben Amorim before their president Francisco Varandas made a last-minute alteration to the deal.
Amorim would then become the next favourite for the job but it soon became apparent Feyenoord's Arne Slot would be the man to take on the role of Klopp's successor. The pivot towards the Dutchman came out of left field and according to journalist Christian Falk, Sporting's boss was incredibly close to being in the position Slot finds himself in.
Liverpool were unsurprisingly not willing to do this according to Falk and thus pulled out of the deal. Such a late turn of events is said to have angered Amorim who was looking forward to the challenge at Anfield.
