Ruben Amorim is being considered as a potential replacement for Pep Guardiola at Manchester City, with sources claiming that his chances have increased due to the impending appointment of Hugo Viana as Director of Football. Viana is expected to advocate for Amorim’s recruitment if Guardiola were to leave at the end of the season. Amorim has also been linked with other Premier League teams, such as West Ham and Chelsea, in the past.
Amorim is highly regarded in Portugal for his success in helping Sporting Lisbon win two league titles in the past four years. While he has a strong track record in his home country, there are doubts about whether he could handle the step up to the Premier League, having only coached clubs in Portugal thus far. Despite his talent as a coach, other names will also be considered if Guardiola decides to leave City.
Guardiola’s contract expires at the end of June, and while his future is not necessarily tied to Begiristain, there is speculation that he could leave along with the Director of Football. Amorim’s potential appointment at Manchester City would be a significant move for the club, and it remains to be seen if he would be able to continue his success in the Premier League.
