The Times has reported that the top-ranked team in the Primeira Liga has identified Anthony Barry, an assistant coach at Bayern Munich, as a prominent contender to replace their current 39-year-old manager at Estadio Jose Alvalade if he is chosen as Jurgen Klopp’s replacement.

The Portuguese team is renowned for hiring promising coaches, and they plan to do the same with Thomas Tuchel’s assistant, who is expected to leave the Allianz Arena along with the former Chelsea manager. Despite rejecting several offers to become a head coach, the assistant is likely to make the move.

Paul Merson predicts that Liverpool will do something today that they have not accomplished since 2019.

Further information: A Sky pundit confidently expresses their opinion on Liverpool’s chances in the Premier League title fight, stating that they are not the favorites.

With Liverpool and Bayern, along with numerous other European clubs, actively seeking new managers this year, there is a possibility of a significant ripple effect across the continent.

Barry, who previously worked with Tuchel at Chelsea, may play a crucial role in helping Liverpool secure Amorim if he becomes the head coach at Sporting. This would be Amorim’s first position as a head coach after serving as an assistant in various roles.

The individual from Merseyside has served as the second-in-command to Roberto Martinez for both the national teams of Belgium and Portugal. Additionally, they have been a member of Stephen Kenny’s support staff for the Republic of Ireland in 2021 (Transfermarkt).

If he aims to initiate his own managerial journey and secures an opportunity in Lisbon, it might perhaps facilitate Liverpool’s acquisition of Amorim, who might be eager to seize the chance to assume control at a prominent European powerhouse while his reputation is strong.

This summer appears to be characterized by a situation in which one coaching appointment has the capacity to determine the outcome of another. If Barry’s future were to have an indirect impact on the selection of Klopp’s successor at Anfield, it could potentially create a complex chain of events with considerable consequences.
