It's now clear that since Ruben Amorim left Sporting Cp, the club have been struggling to get winnings under the new boss and this is is affecting their confidence level. I'm not saying Club Brugge isn't a strong club but I know that if Amorim was still coach, they would have comfortably defeated the hosts and this performance is also affecting them in their domestic league as well as it looks like teams are not afraid of them anymore. It's as if they're aware that the Coach was the person gluing them together and now that he has left, the club is now bare and open for anybody to take advantage of.
When a coach who contributed great success, won titles for a club left it, the club will need time to find a new coach who can replace that position well. If luckily, a first coach can be a successful replacement but if unlucky, it will need several coaches or even many years. In Premier League, there are two big examples with Arsenal and Manchester United as they had to work with many coaches, spent a lot of money with limited success after endings of Sir. Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger years ago.
Serious problems are now in Sporting since Amorim left. I was thinking they were gonna continue with same tactics and gameplay like they did while Amorim was there but they arent playing well and since their coach left they are looking worst by the minute in all competitions. Club brugge aint weak but Sporting should have got a draw or win from this match,they even leaded 0-1 and dropped the win
Sporting Lisbon suddenly won their domestic league last season with amazing management of Ruben Amorim and they continued to play well in this season by beating Manchester City with very convincing result in Champions League.
The departure of Ruben Amorim in middle of season is certainly not good for them. It's because difficulty to replace him and it's because in middle of season, it's hard to find a good coach and it's not enough time for a new coach to prepare for his squad and management. Taking over a pressureful position in mid of season is very challenging for all coaches.
