Ruben Amorim distances himself from Benfica, sends clear future message | OneFootball

AS1 Sports, the company responsible for Ruben Amorim’s career, has officially confirmed that the coach does not intend to return to Portugal in the near future of his career. The position of the former Sporting manager appears in a statement released this Wednesday, confirming the information recently reported.

According to the statement, Ruben Amorim decided “a long time ago” to continue working exclusively abroad, thus ruling out the rumors linking him to a possible return to Portuguese football after leaving Manchester United.

The AS1 Sports statement goes even further and assures that the coach has had no contact with national clubs: “He has not had any meeting with Portuguese clubs to discuss working conditions, structure, squad, salaries or any others”, the statement released by the agency reads.

In this way, the possibility of Ruben Amorim succeeding José Mourinho as head coach of Benfica is practically ruled out, a scenario that had been pointed out in recent weeks by various media outlets.

“Anything said beyond this is mere speculation and has no correspondence with reality”, the company representing the Portuguese coach also concludes, thus closing, at least for now, any possibility of an immediate return to domestic football.

Read the full statement below:

- Ruben Amorim decided a long time ago to continue his career abroad.

- For that very reason, he has not had any meeting with Portuguese clubs to discuss working conditions, structure, squad, salaries or any other matters.

- Anything said beyond this is mere speculation and has no correspondence with reality".
