On Amorim, it's also appealing that he won the domestic cup with Braga. He was only in charge there from December 2019 to March 2020, before Sporting paid 10m euros to take him as their new manager. That is quite a fee to pay for someone who'd managed at a senior level for just four months... suggests to me that the perception of him was sky high.
Since then, he's won the league with Sporting and the domestic cup twice. That's good going for a side that are very much third to Porto and Benfica, and he has the chance to win a second title this season (looks to be between them and Benfica, with Sporting a point ahead with a game in hand).
He seems sounds, speaks fluent English, has developed players there quite well, shown he can get a side to overperform. No idea if he'd succeed here but feels like that would be the case for anyone we appoint. Need to realise that there's a not small chance that we'll be back in the managerial market in 12 months, regardless of who we appoint.
