Vitor Pereira slammed for public Liverpool claim - months after almost joining Everton

Corinthians manager Vitor Pereira has been criticised for openly admitting he would leave the club for Liverpool if he ever had the chance to join the Reds.

This is also after the 53-year-old almost joined Everton back in January following the sacking of Rafael Benitez. Pereira had been interviewed for the vacancy but was pipped to become the club's new manager by Frank Lampard, who has since guided the Toffees to safety.

A month later, Pereira was appointed as Corinthians' new boss on an initial contract until the end of the year. He has lost just five of his opening 20 matches in charge and his side currently sit top of the Brazilian league table.
