Posted: Tue Oct 15, 2024 8:07 pm
Ruben Amorim has emerged as a strong consideration for Manchester City as their next manager should Pep Guardiola ultimately decide to leave the club at the conclusion of the current season. City would like to have a succession plan in place should Guardiola exit. Guardiola has yet to make a decision and City would like to keep him.
Amorim is a close ally of Hugo Viana, who will replace Txiki Begiristain as City\'s director of football next summer.
Amorim is the 39-year-old manager of Sporting. Amorim has been a candidate for the Liverpool job and has also had conversations with Chelsea. West Ham also had interest in Amorim, who has been comfortable remaining at Sporting while waiting for a bigger job.
