Ruben Amorim - who discussed a possible return to Benfica - continues the streak of poor results since he swapped Sporting for Manchester United. Jamie Carragher, former Liverpool player, believes that the coach has not been fired yet due to his personality and... appearance.
"There are a lot of people calling for José Mourinho's return to English football and the reason for that is the fact that he is someone who sells well, can bring things, but he is a winner. I always remember Brian Clough. When I was a child I was always listening to him because he was a winner", he began, on 'The Overlap Fan Debate'.
Carragher then explained why the former Sporting coach is still in office: "The problem with Ruben Amorim is that he is fantastic in press conferences, but because he is not winning people are like... 'shut up! Stop talking'. But if he was winning, everyone would say that he is a person with great character and a great personality. If he wasn't so charismatic in press conferences, and if he didn't look so good, he probably would have lost his job before. Because if you look at the results... they're horrible".
Paul Scholes: "I really like Ruben Amorim"
Paul Scholes, Manchester United legend, also gave his opinion on the situation of the former Sporting coach: "I really like Ruben Amorim. He is very honest and can be very honest. And he's probably saying what any coach would think at a certain point, but you can't say it in public, for everyone".
"There are much more experienced coaches in the Premier League who would never think of saying that. The worst comment for me was after the game with Grimsby, for what he said about the players. It caused him a bit of damage", shot the red devils figure, alluding to the phrase "sometimes I hate my players and sometimes I am able to love them", he concluded.
