Amorim could manage Benfica. |
According to Portuguese media, Amorim is currently the leading candidate for the Benfica hot seat, replacing Jose Mourinho. The "Special One" recently returned to the Estadio da Luz after 25 years, but his performance has been disappointing, with the team falling behind Sporting CP and FC Porto in the Portuguese league title race.
If the appointment of Amorim materializes, it will be a controversial decision in Portuguese football, as the 41-year-old coach previously spent time with their city rivals Sporting CP.
Amorim was once considered one of the most promising coaches in Europe after his success with Sporting CP. However, his reputation was significantly damaged after a disappointing period at Manchester United.
Under Amorim's leadership, the "Red Devils" finished only 15th in the Premier League and lost to Tottenham in the UEFA Europa League final, before he was sacked following a draw with Leeds United in January.
Amorim is no stranger to Benfica. During his playing career, he made 154 appearances for the club, giving him a deep understanding of the culture and environment. Furthermore, his success with Braga and Sporting makes him an attractive option should the management decide to make a change.
Besides Benfica, Amorim has also attracted interest from Vasco da Gama. However, the prospect of returning to the Champions League with a familiar team could be the deciding factor.
