After leaving MU, Ruben Amorim is preparing for a grand comeback

Coach Ruben Amorim is said to be close to resuming his managerial duties after being let go by Manchester United at the beginning of the year.

Ruben Amorim remains unemployed since parting ways with Manchester United last month. The 41-year-old manager was dismissed by the club following a series of results that failed to meet expectations.

Besides the on-field performance, Amorim was involved in disagreements with the club's board after openly expressing dissatisfaction with backstage issues at the club. After his departure, Michael Carrick was appointed as interim manager of the "Red Devils" until the end of the season.

Meanwhile, Amorim is rumored to potentially return to coaching soon in Brazil. According to VDG-Cast, he is on the candidate list for Vasco da Gama.

The traditional Rio de Janeiro club is urgently searching for a new head coach after dismissing Fernando Diniz last week. Diniz was relieved of his duties following a 0-1 loss to Fluminense. In the Brazilian Serie A, Vasco currently ranks 17th with only 1 point from the first 3 rounds.

Sources say Vasco's top priority is Al-Rayyan's coach, Artur Jorge. However, Amorim is also viewed as a noteworthy option and is under consideration by the club's management.

During his 14 months in charge of Manchester United, Amorim managed a total of 63 matches, achieving 25 wins, 15 draws, and 23 losses. Previously, the Portuguese coach had notable stints at Sporting Lisbon and Braga, establishing a solid reputation in European coaching circles.

Earlier reports indicated Amorim was included by Benfica in their list of candidates for the head coach role in the event Jose Mourinho leaves the club. The Lisbon-based club's management considers Amorim a suitable backup option to ensure technical stability if the current coach departs.

Benfica must consider this scenario because Jose Mourinho is seriously being evaluated by the Portuguese Football Federation for the national team head coach position after the World Cup this summer. Given this situation, Benfica is proactively preparing personnel plans to maintain technical stability should Mourinho exit.
