Since Ruben Amorim was sacked after the 1-1 draw against Leeds United, there has been silence from the former Manchester United coach, completely silent. Perhaps not so strange, when Michael Carrick turned the ship around from his first game and has so thoroughly shown Amorim was wrong by keeping Kobbie Mainoo out of the fight arena. However, Amorim is not expected to stay out for long, we bet the Portuguese still has an interest in showing his football can produce results in the Premier League. Now “the perfect job” may be ready.
Oliver Glasner has been linked to Manchester United for the past six months before Michael Carrick has shown the traditional formation of four players in the back row delivers results in the world’s toughest league, but with Glasner’s “Amorim football”, the Austrian is unlikely to be relevant at Old Trafford. For Amorim, Glasner’s “formation similarity” is a possibility.

One of Amorim’s biggest challenges at United was trying to implement their 3-4-3 formation in a squad that wasn’t ready for a tactical transition. Amorim was tactically stubborn, but United’s results suffered. He eventually switched to a four-in-defence, but it ended up causing friction between him and the management at Old Trafford. Glasner plays a 3-4-3 system at Crystal Palace and has built a squad that is now used to the formation. With Glasner finished at Palace at the end of the season, this opens up a big opportunity for Amorim.
According to TeamTalk’s sources, Amorim is a strong candidate to take over from Glasner, but not quite at the top. Because according to the sources, Frank Lampard is the clear favourite to take over the Palace job. However, it is very unlikely that Lampard will leave the Sky Blues after his first real success as a coach with historic promotion for Coventry.

Thus, the door to the Premier League could be open for Ruben Amorim.
