Three months after his turbulent departure from Manchester United, Rúben Amorim resurfaces far from the pitch… but not far from football. The Portuguese coach was seen in Lisbon playing padel with Hugo Viana, current sporting director of Manchester City. An image that has not gone unnoticed, as it brings together two figures now linked to rival clubs in England, despite a relationship that has remained very close since their collaboration at Sporting CP.
This appearance shows a relaxed Amorim, enjoying his free time after a very complicated experience at Old Trafford. This meeting with Viana inevitably revives speculation around his future. Could the current architect of Citizens recruitment, already at the origin of his arrival at Sporting, play a role in a possible rebound? For the moment, there is nothing to indicate a professional rapprochement, but this proximity continues to fuel discussions behind the scenes.
