Sporting aims to delay Amorim's departure to Manchester United until November international break
Sporting Lisbon is seeking to postpone head coach Ruben Amorim's move to Manchester United until the international break in November.
According to Sky Sports journalist Kaveh Solhekol, the Lisbon club wants the 39-year-old to continue managing the team for another 30 days, as his contract in Portugal remains valid during this period even after the release clause has been paid. Sporting is prepared to let Amorim join Manchester United during the next international break, which takes place from November 11 to 19.
The Portuguese club announced the impending departure of Ruben Amorim to Manchester United the day before. The Red Devils have paid Lisbon 10 million euros for the early termination of his contract.
Ruben Amorim took charge of Sporting in 2020. Under his leadership, the Lions have won the Portuguese league title twice and claimed two Portuguese League Cups.
On Monday, October 28, Manchester United announced the dismissal of Erik ten Hag from his role as head coach. The Dutch manager had led the team since the summer of 2022, winning the FA Cup and the English League Cup with the Red Devils.
