Hopefully this video sparks more interest by the fans abroad. Here in Portugal what he did in Sporting is absolutely insane. Not only did he won the league after 19 years, he did it with a very young squad, mainly from Sporting's academy. It's like he's playing FM irl!! And it's not only from a results perspective he's being successful. He managed to truly unite the fans for the first time in many years, and I have no doubt he would have achieved that even if he didn't win the league. This guy has a bright future ahead

[@zmenace7616]

God dammit, now the cats out of the bag and everyone is going to want to take him away from us 😭 Just two things worth mentioning about this video: Taca is actually spelled Taça (with a cedilla) and it's pronounced more like "Tasa". And one thing that wasn't really mentioned but something that should be pointed out about Amorim is that his strongest suit perhaps aside from his tactical prowess is his ability to unify the locker room. After the attack on the training grounds by the Sporting fans that caused Bruno de Caravalho's downfall as a Sporting President, the Sporting locker room was completely tarnished (it was already bad before but got worse after that), Ruben Amorim was able to bring all the players together and make them all feel at home. All the players in interviews constantly mention that Sporting has one of the most enjoyable locker rooms they have experienced in their careers, so much so that players are competitive in training, but, when it comes to games, their will to win surpasses their need to play on the field (i.e. players don't complain about being on the bench). Great video regardless!

You should do a video on Sergio Conceição. If you think Amorim has been impressive, then imagine Sergio. The man is going for a 3rd league title without ever having a competitive squad since he joined Porto. Adding also to the fact that has reached the quarter finals of the ucl twice. He’s the first Porto manager that fans value more than president pinto Da costa. He’s holding that ship on his own. Without him Porto would be screwed big time.

[@godenzoon5955]

I love how his Sporting played against Ajax in the CL groupstage, and love to see the technical capabilities of this Portuguese team.

Attacking, technical teams will always be remembered by football fans, and it is more joyfull to see :). So I will cheer for more Rúben Amorim''s :).

[@fabiovictor5300]

[@GasparOO8]

Took you long enough to make this video but I'm glad you did. Amorim work here in Portugal is incredible. He really feels part of a new generation of coaches that prioritize communication and player well-being in order to strengthen their work on the pitch as a team. Here's hoping he as a brilliant carrer in the future (after winning the quadruple with Sporting some time in the next few seasons).

[@MysteryPuke]

I think there is a caveat to be made for SCP success last season which was that they were only playing internal competitions. No Champions or UEFA Leage (knocked out on the playoff). This season with a better team they're revealing more deficiencies physically, with more injuries (they were the best team last year, but rest time is a factor). Amorim might be the next Mourinho, but Conceição has shown to be an amazing coach and anyone who cares should analyze the different rosters he's had and how he's been adaptable with his approach to fit the squad and the financial constrains FC Porto has been in.

[@Timbone07]

Exactly. The same with Conte at Chelsea. Having no European football makes it much easier

[@vader745]

Great video as usual, what about a video on Celtic coach Ange Postecoglou... how he has turned Celtic around within 1 season is amazing and if you look deep into his background he has a real exciting philosophy and actually at one point early on was a failed coach but found his way to where he is now, its all interesting.

[@shipu302]

The ironic thing about all this is that despite his clear inspirations, Amorim is basically the anti-Mourinho when it comes to man management. He's always the first one to defend his players even when things terribly wrong. His press conferences are usually down to earth and he tries to avoid the off the pitch drama that is so prevalent in portuguese football. It's incredible how much he has been able to improve the atmosphere of a divided club.

Mourinho is called the Special One for a reason even though he called himself "A special one" what makes (made) him unique was his ability to break barriers in record time.

To be fair , Tottenham would not be a good move for him. He can grow a few more years in sporting before thinking of going into a burning house like United or spurs. He could really damage his growth with a failed tenure in the premier league, and most likely with spurs he would probably wouldn’t even have the chance to compete in the champions league. Give him time. He has patience and is extremely calm , so I reckon he’ll make the right decision. Other clubs in the future might be interesting such as borussia Dortmund since he has excellent managing of young academy players and has that little star against more developed clubs, and it could be a good step up without having the England media tripping him.

They’ve been getting by and overachieving with a pretty weak squad. If it wasn’t for their keeper Jose Sa I actually think they would’ve been close to the relegation zone. They seem to have little to no money to invest in improving the squad, and the money they have spent over the years could’ve been spent much smarter. I feel like he would be very limited/restricted and not be able to play his tactics. I just feel like with wolves , he’d have to work with whoever is there, which i think quite a few of wolves players aren’t even good enough to play in the EPL. Atletico would be a better fit. They are in a way, the Sporting of Spain. A big club that competes and wins some trophies but also the underdog to Real Madrid and Barcelona. (benfica,porto) Atleti also don’t mind spending money.
