Before joining Manchester United next week, Rúben Amorim is preparing to play his last Champions League match with Sporting Portugal against Manchester City. During the press conference, Amorim did not hide his admiration for Pep Guardiola, whom he considers to be “the best coach in the world”. This duel against its future rival in the Premier League has a particular flavor, especially since the two men had already faced each other in 2022, during a round of 16 in C1 where Sporting had fallen heavily (0-5) .

Amorim believes Guardiola is a great inspiration to him and other coaches, saying: “I feel like a better coach, but unfortunately Pep Guardiola has also become an even better coach, so the gap remains the same”. Despite the expectations surrounding this match, Amorim tries to put the impact of a victory or defeat into perspective before joining Manchester United. “If we win tomorrow, we will think that the new Alex Ferguson has arrived, and that will be very difficult to support”he clarified. A final confrontation where Amorim hopes to impress his future audience without harboring unrealistic expectations.
