The future of Sporting Lisbon’s coach Ruben Amorim remains uncertain as the club seeks a potential successor should David Moyes depart. Technical director Tim Steidten is leading the search for a new coach, with the club aiming for a smooth transition. Meanwhile, supporters have expressed dissatisfaction with Moyes’ conservative playing style. Amorim, aged 39, has gained widespread admiration as a coach and has been touted as a leading candidate to take over at Liverpool.
He led Sporting to their first league title in 19 years in 2021 and currently has the team 10 points ahead of Benfica. Despite previously indicating he would leave if Sporting failed to win titles, Amorim has not confirmed his plans for the summer, stating, “I can’t guarantee [I’ll stay]. “I gave my word and I can’t go back on it. If we don’t win titles, I’ll leave Sporting.
It was clear from the start, it was the bet I passed on to the players. We have to win titles.” This uncertainty has left Sporting Lisbon in a state of anticipation, as Amorim’s future with the club remains unresolved.
