Not sure if he's worth €30m though


Coaching career[edit]
Shortly after retiring, Amorim joined the Lisbon Football Association in order to earn a coaching licence. Additionally, he attended a postgraduation course in psychomotor education.[25]

Amorim started working as a manager in 2018–19, with third division team Casa Pia AC.[26][27] In January 2019, the team were deducted six points and he was suspended from all activity for one year after giving instructions during a match without having the required coaching level to do so;[28] even though the bans were suspended shortly after,[29] he presented his resignation in the aftermath.[30]

On 20 May 2019, Amorim initially agreed to return to Benfica as their under-23 coach.[31] The following month, however, after a meeting at the club, he rejected that possibility.[32]

In mid-September 2019, Amorim was appointed at Braga's reserves in the third tier.[33] Three months later, he replaced the dismissed Ricardo Sá Pinto at the helm of the first team on a two-and-a-half-year contract.[34] In his first game in charge on 4 January, he led them to a 7–1 away demolition of Belenenses SAD,[35] and three weeks later won the domestic League Cup final against FC Porto with a last-minute goal from Ricardo Horta.[36]

Amorim became Sporting CP's manager on 4 March 2020 after the sacking of Silas, signing a deal until 30 June 2023 with a €20 million buyout clause.[37] Despite only having two months of top-flight experience, Sporting paid €10 million for his services, the third-highest transfer fee for a manager in history.[38] On 23 January 2021 he won a second consecutive league cup final, against his previous club; both he and Braga manager Carlos Carvalhal were sent to the stands for arguing with each other.[39]

On 4 March 2021, Amorim renewed his contract for one more year, with an improved release clause of €30 million.[40] On 11 May, following a 1–0 home win against Boavista, he led the team to their first national championship in 19 years.[41]

Portugal does that a lot with players, but rarely does anyone get that much. Around €3-5m tops. Not that I have any idea who he is or why he's come out of nowhere.

Won Sportings first league title in 19 years.

Makes sense why they would not want to lose him to a European club with mega bucks on the poach <whistle>

think it was Sean Casey who tweeted earlier that if this Henrique fella became our DOF then he would be a good shout, maybe some people have lumped on.

I read something a few weeks ago, can’t remember where, but someone who used to work for a betting firm said that odds for next manager etc can change dramatically from not many bets as it’s not a massively popular market.

Holland can be a little risky. Ten Hag seems a different gravy, though, and another name I'd be delighted with. Don't think he's going anywhere, he knocked Spurs back in a heartbeat.
 
I thought Lampard would of came under Ashley tbh, so I'm not that excited. But obviously we are talking about Newcastle United and a replacement for Steven ****ing Bruce.

So, its obviously an improvement.
 
In terms of the names linked thus far, Favre, Rodgers and Conte are all WAY ahead of people like Lampard and Gerrard (for me).

Just look at the names I mentioned, and those at the top of their craft - which ones were ever decent players, aside from Pep? All the other best managers everywhere were bang average (or worse) footballers - there's just something about ex-pro's that really, really puts me off. Then there's the question of loyalty. Gerrard comes in, here's only in the job to prove himself good enough for Liverpool. **** that. It's the management equivalent of the loan system.
