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

A graphic blunder in Serie A caused some confusion on social media by displaying the name and image of Ruben Amorim instead of the Brazilian midfielder Alex Amorim during a Genoa match. The error occurred during the broadcast of the match 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 was on Sporting's radar, made his debut for the new club, coming on during the match and logging his first minutes, and it was this player who was actually featured in the match and not the figure that mistakenly appeared on television screens.

The blunder, which showed Ruben Amorim instead of Alex, became the focus of attention for many fans and commentators, more than the performance of the young midfielder on the field. The team led by De Rossi is 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 10 million depending on objectives. Overall, this is the biggest sale in the history of the Ribatejo club's SAD.

Meanwhile, Ruben Amorim, after a successful stint at Sporting between 2020 and 2024, moved to Old Trafford in November 2024. He was eventually dismissed on January 5, 2026, after 63 official matches, in which he achieved only 25 victories.
