Serie A error lists Amorim at Genoa, ex-Sporting man in headlines | OneFootball

A graphic blunder in Serie A caused some confusion on social media by displaying the name and image of Ruben Amorim instead of those of the Brazilian midfielder Alex Amorim during a Genoa match. The error occurred during the broadcast of the game against Cremonese, valid for the 25th round of the Italian league, which ended in a draw (0-0).

Alex Amorim, a former Alverca player who had been on Sporting's radar, made his debut for his new club, coming on during the match and earning his first minutes, and it was this player who was actually brought on in the game, not the figure who mistakenly appeared on television screens.

The slip-up, which showed Ruben Amorim instead of Alex, became the focus of attention for many fans and commentators, more so than the young midfielder’s own performance on the pitch. The team coached by De Rossi sits in 16th place, with 24 points, three more than Lecce (21), the first team below the relegation line.

In the last January transfer window, Alex Amorim left Alverca for Italy. Genoa paid 8 million euros in a deal that could reach 10M depending on objectives. Overall, this is the biggest sale in the history of the Ribatejo club’s SAD.

Meanwhile, Ruben Amorim, after a successful spell at Sporting between 2020 and 2024, moved to Old Trafford in November 2024. He ended up being dismissed on January 5, 2026, after 63 official matches, in which he managed only 25 wins.
