Nuno Gomes backs Amorim for Benfica, hints at Sporting replacement | OneFootball

Rui Borges has been linked to Wolverhampton for the position of Vítor Pereira, who was dismissed last Sunday. Nuno Gomes, vice-president for football on João Noronha Lopes' list, a candidate for Benfica's elections, admits knowing who the substitute for the Sporting coach is.

"Before we started this interview, you talked about a possible departure – or not – of Rui Borges from Sporting. And if that were to happen, I almost bet who would be Rui Borges' substitute. But that would be for another program,” said Nuno Gomes, to Record na Hora.

At the same time, Nuno Gomes discussed the future of Ruben Amorim, ensuring that the former player of the reds could return as the main coach: "It's hard to have certainties, but my conviction is that I think Ruben Amorim will be, one day, the coach of Benfica. And I can even say that it didn't happen sooner because, after some meetings, it was Ruben Amorim who decided not to accept being a coach under those conditions.”

", and we all understand his way of communicating, working, and preparing the teams,” concluded Nuno Gomes.
