Back to England? Ruben Amorim linked with 13th-placed Premier League side | OneFootball

Ruben Amorim, former Sporting manager, could be close to returning to management, straight into the Premier League, after being sacked as Manchester United head coach on January 5. The Portuguese manager did not survive the poor results at the end of last season and the start of the current campaign.

According to information reported by British outlet TEAMtalk this Wednesday, the Portuguese coach’s name was suggested to Crystal Palace, a club looking for a new manager, after it became known that the current one, Oliver Glasner, will not remain in the role for the 2026/2027 season.

As such, the decision now rests in the hands of the London club’s chairman, Steve Parish, who reportedly has a shortlist featuring several other managers, such as Frank Lampard of Coventry City, Andoni Iraola of Bournemouth, Thomas Frank, formerly of Brentford, and Robbie Keane, formerly of Tottenham.

The London side currently sit 13th in the English league, with 43 points, five fewer than Chelsea, the last team in the European qualification places, and 12 more than Tottenham, the side immediately below the relegation zone.

In this way, this could be the opportunity for the former Sporting boss to return to management and once again take charge of a Premier League team. It should be remembered that the coach had already been linked with other teams in the English top flight. Ruben Amorim has managed 310 matches, the most recent of them being a game played against Leeds at the beginning of January.
