It seems like half an eternity ago, but it’s actually only been four or five months since Ruben Amorim was still in charge of Manchester United. With a World Cup playoff and only a short time before the pre-season starts, the Portuguese has been linked to several jobs in recent weeks. This week has been about a potentially controversial hire, now the agent is moving out.
For the Sporting supporters, Madeira got in the wrong throat, when it was reported that their successful coach had entered into negotiations with arch-rival Benfica about the coaching job when Jose Mourinho leaves for Real Madrid. According to journalist Ben Jacobs, negotiations were underway, but broke down this week.

Amoirim and the agent company are clearly not going to wear that they are looking for a coaching job outside of the biggest leagues after the Manchester United fiasco. Not even for Sporting’s archrival.
AS1 Sports, which represents Ruben Amorim, has issued a press release in which they strongly distance themselves from the rumors in the press.
-In light of the latest news about Ruben Amorim’s future, especially reported by SIC’s “Jornal da Noite”, it is important to clarify the following: Ruben Amorim made the decision to continue his career abroad a long time ago. Therefore, he has not had any meetings with Portuguese clubs about working conditions, structure, squad, wages or other matters. Anything that is said beyond this is pure speculation and has no basis in reality, writes AS1 Sports according to the Mirror.
