Ruben Amorim back in the frame for Benfica to replace Mourinho | OneFootball

Ruben Amorim has once again been mentioned as a possible solution for Benfica at the end of the season. Andy Brassell, a European football expert, believes that the Portuguese coach could emerge as a natural option to replace José Mourinho, in a context where the available choices are limited.

"I don't see any reason why he wouldn't be a choice (for Benfica)," said Brassell on talkSPORT, explaining that the coach would hardly accept a new project in the middle of the season, as happened at Manchester United. "We all know he wanted to take on the challenge only at the start of the season, but was pressured to move forward at that moment.”

The commentator also ruled out an immediate return to the Premier League or Spanish football. “I don't believe he'll return to the Premier League. In Spain, he won't be an option for Barcelona, Real Madrid, or Atlético, and clubs like Valencia or Sevilla don't have the financial capacity to convince him”.

“There aren't many obvious destinations for Ruben Amorim, maybe something we're overlooking, like the Bundesliga, which could work for him. Maybe he could be an elite coach a little further down the line, but for now he'll have to prove his worth elsewhere,” emphasized Andy Brassell.

Ruben Amorim, who has already been linked to the Eagles numerous times, despite a source close to the club denying the interest, played for Benfica between 2008 and 2015, winning three National Championships, one Portuguese Cup, five League Cups, and one Super Cup.
