International press claims Amorim is a serious option for Benfica | OneFootball

If José Mourinho is enticed to leave Benfica and head to Real Madrid, Ruben Amorim is being pointed out as the main option for Sporting’s eternal rival to take over their technical command, information that is currently being reported by the international press.

This Thursday, reports emerged pointing to a scenario that, until recently, seemed unlikely. According to journalist Rudi Galetti, Real Madrid is closely monitoring the possibility of José Mourinho returning to the Santiago Bernabéu. In this context, the name of Ruben Amorim emerges as the main candidate to take over as Benfica’s coach, should the current manager’s departure be confirmed.

The situation at the Spanish club also contributes to this scenario. Real Madrid’s recent negative results, combined with a difficult start for Arbeloa at the helm, could lead the Madrid officials to once again consider the Portuguese coach, who led the club between 2010/11 and 2012/13.

It should also be noted that José Mourinho has a clause in his contract with Benfica that allows him to terminate without compensation up to ten days after the end of the season, which opens the door for a possible departure at the end of the campaign.

As for Ruben Amorim, it should be recalled that the coach recently left Manchester United, after a draw against Leeds and a press conference that marked his departure. Before his experience in England, Amorim spent about six seasons in charge of Sporting, during which he won three national championship titles, including last season, in which he achieved 11 wins in 11 matches before leaving.
