Rumors are circulating that Amorim will replace Mourinho.

Just days after being sacked by Manchester United, Ruben Amorim is rumored to be returning to the coaching bench, with his home country of Portugal being a possible destination.

According to the Daily Mail, Benfica are interested in Amorim should Mourinho be sacked.

British media reports suggest that the 41-year-old strategist has unexpectedly emerged as a strong candidate to replace Jose Mourinho at Benfica. Currently, the "Special One's" position is under immense pressure due to disappointing results.

Benfica are 10 points behind league leaders Porto in the domestic title race and have dropped to 25th place in the Champions League. According to the Daily Mail , the Lisbon club's management are ready to sack Mourinho, and Amorim is seen as a suitable replacement.

Before arriving in England, Amorim made a name for himself by transforming Sporting Lisbon into a powerhouse in Portugal. In fact, Benfica had pursued Amorim several times in the past, particularly during the club's presidential election last September, but the deal fell through at that time.

Amorim recently parted ways with Old Trafford. The Portuguese manager openly expressed his desire for complete control over tactical matters and was reportedly at odds with Manchester United's sporting executive department. According to internal sources, the rift behind the scenes was beyond repair.

Leaving MU with a win rate of only 31.9%, Amorim is considered the worst manager of the "Red Devils" in the Premier League era. However, he still received compensation of over £10 million, becoming one of the most expensive managers ever sacked by MU.
