Carragher highlights Amorim's characteristics and explains Liverpool's decision to pass on him

On November 1, Manchester United announced that Sporting's Ruben Amorim would become the new head coach of the team. However, it is worth noting that Liverpool had shown interest in him over the summer. Ultimately, the "Reds" opted for Arne Slot, and club legend Jamie Carragher has put forth his reasoning for this decision.

Details: Carragher believes that it would have been challenging for Liverpool to transition to Amorim's style of play, as the Portuguese coach prefers a formation with three central defenders, while Slot, like Jürgen Klopp, employs a four-defender system.

Quote: "Amorim is part of the current generation of coaches who utilize three central defenders. Others include Xabi Alonso at Bayer Leverkusen and Simone Inzaghi at Inter Milan.

I suspect one of the reasons Liverpool chose Slot over Amorim last summer is that the Dutchman prefers a more traditional four at the back, making the transition easier for the team he inherited.

Under Klopp, the first team's style was reflected at the academy level, so that players stepping up would be familiar with the tactical systems," Carragher wrote in his column for The Telegraph.
