The RISE of Rúben Amorim (The Next ‘Special One’)

Why is Rúben Amorim Europe's most-wanted manager? Guiding Sporting to their first league title in 19 years all but guaranteed his status, and the strong likelihood of his side winning it again this year only adds to his exceptional CV.
Sporting recognized Amorim’s talent early on, paying a huge release clause to SC Braga for his tactical mind, man-management skills, and unwavering dedication as a manager. Based on his work behind Sporting's resurgence in the 2020s, Amorim could just be the new ‘Special One’.
Who is he, and why is he in such high demand? This is the rise of Rúben Amorim.

As a lifelong sporting fan, I haven't been this excited since we had boloni as a coach. We finally have a coach who knows how to make the best of his players. Espero que Amorim fica no Sporting para sempre!

[@65LORDBYRON]

Quite accurate as I am a fan of Sporting Clube de PORTUGAL (and not Sporting Lisbon as so many KZbinrs say). Only one correcton (minute11.50) Inacio and Diomande are Left and Right the Center of the 3 normally is Coates. Have a new subscriber and good luck!!!

[@kieran8845]

Liverpool fan and if we don't get him now especially after being rejected by Alonso I seriously worry about who will get the job... There just doesn't seem to be many quality managers available right now to take on such a massive role.

[@KedasGamingTV]

Amorim is tailored to success. He knows the game, hes humble, he face his errors with no shame in admit it

[@joaolourenco941]

For Amorim's credit Sporting's squads individually, since Amorim arrived, have been in my opinion clearly not even the best ones when compared to Benfica and Porto, due mainly to the fact that Sporting have been struggle with financial problems for many years. Despite it Amorim was able to build great teams with what is available.

[@FrontPageFootball]

He's levels above 🔥

Thanks and welcome bro! 👊🏻Understandably so, after all, it’s his achievements at Sporting that are worth studying, not “How he’d be perfect for Liverpool” when nothing’s even confirmed yet.

Portugal is a north african country. Yes, I know its glued to the european continent but this was an error that took place when the continental drift happened. What this manager pulled off is surreal. He basically won a fixed league.

[@JoeyTurVic]

Wth? Since when Portugal is a north african country and what does that have anything to do with Ruben Amorim?

I don't want Amorim to go anywhere. There, I've said it! Jus a wee note: While Mourinho was arrogance incarnate, baby Amorim is humble and doesn't point fingers when dealing with defeat.

[@mariaclaracosta9420]

As a SPORTINGUISTA I wish that Rúben Amorim stayed in my club! But I true believe that he is going to Liverpool and I wish him the BEST SUCCESS! 💚👌🇵🇹

[@rallealyt]

He seems to be good in tactics, but he is very good in the relationship with the players and communication with the press. In his second season Sporting was 4th and did not play very well. Benfica will finish 2nd this year (won last year) and many fans want to fire the coach. The difference: communication. Amorim explains his (bad) decisions, apologizes, etc.

Hey mate, where are you finding the clips of him giving team talks in the locker room and speaking to the players? Been looking all over for the source of those clips and can’t find them! Would appreciate you letting me know! Thank you in advance

[@FrontPageFootball]

No problem mate! I found them by searching "Amorim" in the search bar of Sporting's official KZbin channel. Channel's in Portuguese so you'll needa look carefully.

[@iamekid]

He won a championship when he technically wasn't even a manager. He still didnt have the full license. But a big reason for his success he's more friend than manager. He isn't really that old compared to the team. And if you see videos from backroom (whatever the equivalent for backstage. Im a musician, not a football player 😅) he looks like a kid having fun with his friends

Amorim will not leave Sporting.He likes to teatch the game and in liverpool the stars will not let him teatch because he is so young and will sabotage him .Next year we will be at Champions League and we will sell lots of cheap players for millions as usual and will go get more.Leave him alone .Viva o Sporting Clube de Portugal.

[@nonnayoubuzinnes1669]

I also hope he stays away from Liverpool.

[@MarcoAntonio-fq2tn]

spot on!! Amorin has no any big success behind to lead one of the biggest team ... will be a huge mistake come to LFC! will ruin his career.

[@nonnayoubuzinnes1669]

@@MarcoAntonio-fq2tn Hopefully we can try to get Klopp back after a season. Looks like the German national team will need to replace Naglesmann who is meant to be going back to Bayern this summer so I can't see where else he'd go after his break.

[@leonmiller7349]

I disagree. Liverpool aren’t Man City or Utd. We don’t sign stars, we make them. Our current squad are so humble and mouldable. Young and hungry. You can maybe argue Van dijk and Salah would be challenging to “teach” but even then!

[@lofersillofersil5581]

@@leonmiller7349 In SportingC.P. our team average is 24 years old so the only one more then 25 is Coates the rest all kids.Also i think that he will stay , he wil be here for 2 or 3 years and then he will make the jump.He manages just for 4 years and he is not ready yet to take Liverpool or any other club.My opinion.Its very early in his carrer and any bad step will make it or lose it.I know he will manage a Real , Barcelona ,Bayern , but he must be patient.

[@FrontPageFootball]

Liverpool fans: Is Amorim the right manager for Liverpool? Edit: Guess he’s not going to Liverpool after all. 😂 Maybe Chelsea?

[@sachinshah4594]

Yes! He's shown he is a world class coach, can operate on limited transfer budget and win against the bigger powerhouses of Porto and Benfica, sustain the performance while losing key players to bigger clubs and is great at developing talent (Porro, Palinha, Nunes, Ugarte developed as world class players under him, even Gyokores's agent said he moved to Sporting to develop under Amorim). This feels very similar to the situation at Liverpool. Having limited budget and competing with Man City with far better finances, prone to losing star players to bigger clubs if the team underperforms (Van Dijk, Salah and Trent on last few years of their contract, with Trent being watched closely by Madrid), and the biggest factor for me personally, a youth team with so many talents primed for development (Jarell Quansah, Bobby Clark, Connor Bradley, Jayden Danns, Harvey Elliot and other boys who won us the League Cup against Chelsea). Feels as if he is the perfect candidate for this job, might even be a better choice than Xabi Alonso in some aspects!

[@Primeiro_ultimo]

no he´s not!! please ruben stay in Sporting CP !!!

[@Zop-wm7cg]

Yeah he is 💯 coming to Liverpool. Liverpool are a giant and sporting can not keep hold off him

[@user-ec4qq1vt4j]

I think he's the best choice that's available right now. My concerns are, Liverpools most loaded position is central midfield, with most of our best recent signings being in midfield, szoboslai, Mac allister, Endo, gravenberch, and then Elliot and Curtis Jones both exciting first team player, potentially even Thiago although it looks like he will leave, amorim has always stuck to the same formation with only 2 CM, that's a lot of wasted players. ThenLiverpool have trentAA come inside to midfield but overall have always been a 2 CB team, Amorim plays 3 at CB and it changes the whole dynamic of the back line, not the end of the world but retraining a defencw that's extremely drilled and conditioned to one way just iskt ideal in the short term. So unless he can be more flexible, his tactics just don't suit the current squad. Secondly, I know Mourinho did well, but the Premier League is a BIG step up from Portugal, the big 3 over there struggle to get results against the top 6 in England, and then top 6 England regularly get upset by the mid table teams!, its just the overall standard is such a dramatic step up from all the teams in Portugal. The fact they lose a lot of their best players to teams like Wolves and Fulham etc who are mid table in England says it all. Not shitting on Portuguese league as I do like a lot of the players that come from that league, but it is truly a different level. I do think he's the best available option, I think every Liverpool fan wants Alonso as his tactics at Bayern Leverkusen perfectly match up with our best 11 players, (I know he does 3 at the back as well but he uses midfielders a lot more) and he's a fan favorite, and he's done it in the bundesliga which is probably a more a difficult league

[@nonnayoubuzinnes1669]

No. He will flop here

[@siulvelosa6932]

I suport Sporting and i'm portuguese, bro ruben amorim is a beast, but dont compare with Jose. Amorim is someone who have enormous potencial, but never will have the mentality of Jose or Vilas Boas.
