Ruben Amorim Could Be on His Way to Portugal
The former Manchester United coach could be the replacement for José Mourinho after his possible departure.
Ruben Amorim could become Benfica's new coach
The former Manchester United coach could be heading to Portugal, following the possible departure of current coach José Mourinho.
Amorim, who was the coach of the Red Devils for just over a year, managing 63 games, managed to obtain 24 wins, 18 draws and 21 losses, constituting an effectiveness of 38.10%. Today, he sounds like one of the names that Benfica would like to have on the bench after the possible departure of Mourinho, in the midst of the crisis on the Real Madrid bench and his recent elimination in the Copa del Rey against Albacete.
Benfica's Situation
Benfica is not at its best at the moment; in fact, it has been eliminated from two competitions, the League Cup and the Portuguese Cup. They have to focus on the league; they are in third place, behind Sporting and Porto. The difference in points between Benfica and the league leader, Porto, is 10 points; however, there is still half the season left for the Eagles to try to make up this difference.
Why Ruben Amorim?
Benfica wants the former Manchester United coach for a very important reason: his knowledge and familiarity with the Portuguese League and the club. As Sporting's coach, Ruben Amorim has won three national championships in six seasons. The Portuguese midfielder also played for almost a decade for S.L. Benfica, a fact that is not insignificant for the management, which is looking for a possible new coach with merits and knowledge of the club.
