Ruben Amorim: From Portuguese Shooting Star to Manchester United Manager

Ruben Amorim, the talented football expert from Portugal, has had a remarkable journey that has now led him to the top of the Premier League. Born on January 21, 1985, in Lisbon, Amorim began his career as a midfielder with Belenenses and eventually won three Primeira Liga titles with Benfica. Despite retiring in 2017 due to injury, he left a lasting impression with 14 international appearances for Portugal, including two World Cups. After stepping from the field to the sidelines, Amorim began his coaching career with Casa Pia in Portugal in 2018. An initial challenge arose when he faced a match ban due to lacking the necessary coaching licenses. However, he quickly demonstrated his potential and took over Braga's reserve team in September 2019. By December of the same year, he was appointed head coach and led the team to win the Portuguese League Cup in January. In 2020, Amorim took the helm at Sporting and led the club to its first championship since 2002. His innovative style of play and relentless dedication brought Sporting two national championships and several League Cup successes in just two years. This remarkable chapter made Amorim a sought-after coach, who was in talks with clubs like Liverpool and even turned down an offer from West Ham United. In the current season, Sporting, under Amorim's leadership, is in top form and leading the Portuguese league with a flawless record. These impressive achievements also caught the attention of Manchester United, which, after parting ways with Erik Ten Hag, is ready to put a substantial transfer fee of 10 million euros on the table to secure Amorim for the Red Devils.
