Filipe Soares Franco slams familiar Benfica face: Betrayed Sporting | OneFootball

Filipe Soares Franco, former president of Sporting, commented again on Rúben Amorim's departure. In an interview, the ex-leader of the lions considers that the former coach, just like the ex-athlete of Benfica, betrayed the green and white universe when he decided to swap Alvalade for Old Trafford, to coach Manchester United.

In a conversation with the newspaper Record, where he also targeted the lions' rivals, the former president could not remain indifferent to Rúben Amorim's departure: "I don't know if he was or not. The cemetery is full of irreplaceable people. At most, he might have been the cement of that phase of Sporting."

After emphasizing that the former coach is not seen as irreplaceable, Soares Franco adds that the ex-Benfiquista had an attitude that did not please the green and white leader at all: "Now, I think and continue to think that Ruben Amorim betrayed Sporting."

Next, the ex-president of the lions recalled that if the Portuguese had stayed at Alvalade, there was a detail in the contract that could have been useful to him: "What is said is that if Sporting became champions twice, the agreement with Ruben Amorim had a clause that allowed him to leave, as long as he gave notice, with I don't know how many days in advance."

"Now, that clause, obviously, was not made to be exercised in December, January, February. It was not meant to be used then. It was for him to be able to leave and notify Sporting a month or a month and a half before the end of the season," added Filipe Soares Franco, in an interview with the newspaper Record.
