Ruben Amorim has made a firm decision to continue as the head coach of Sporting for the upcoming season. This comes after his successful leadership led the Portuguese side to their 20th league title. The team secured their victory with a 3-0 win against Portimonense on Saturday, followed by second-place Benfica's loss to Famalicao the next day.
This is not the first time that Amorim's name has been linked with several Premier League clubs. He was even considered as a potential replacement for Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool and flew to London last month for talks with West Ham. However, he later apologized for the meeting and has now reaffirmed his commitment to Sporting, with the goal of securing a third league title for the club.
In an interview with Portuguese outlet Correio da Manha, Amorim expressed his immense happiness and stated that there is still more to achieve with Sporting. He also addressed the celebrations with the team and fans, highlighting the difference from last year's league triumph that was affected by the Covid pandemic.
Amorim also revealed that he had watched Benfica's game with his players while having dinner, and expressed his excitement for the future with Sporting. He made it clear that he has a contract with the club and is looking forward to the challenge of winning a third league title.
Amidst Amorim's decision to stay at Sporting, Liverpool are now reportedly close to appointing Feyenoord's Arne Slot as their new manager, while West Ham are in talks with former Wolves boss Julen Lopetegui. Chelsea, who were also interested in Amorim, have denied any talks taking place between the club and the Portuguese manager. With Amorim's future now settled, it remains to be seen what the next season holds for him and Sporting.
