The name Rúben Amorim is making waves in Brazil. In the hunt for a new manager after parting ways with Fernando Diniz, Vasco da Gama are considering several candidates, including the Portuguese tactician.

Free since his departure from Manchester United FC earlier this season, Amorim represents an ambitious option for the Rio-based club. At 41, he remains one of the most highly regarded Portuguese coaches on the market.

While Artur Jorge remains the top priority, his contractual situation with Al Rayyan SC complicates matters. That could open the door wider for Amorim. For Vasco, betting on a young, modern, and out-of-contract coach would be an opportunity worth seizing. The question now is whether talks will progress and if Amorim will be tempted by a new challenge in Brazil.
