They have a good squad and a good coach, but if the coach leaves the team, I doubt very much that Sporting will continue to play well. I think that the coach leaving before the season is over would not be a good move unless Manchester United paid a lot of money to compensate for the loss of the title, which I think is well guaranteed this season if the Sporting coach remained on the team.
Amorim left big mark in Sporting history by winning league twice and ending 19 years trophy drought. And football that they played is very attractive to watch.
It will be very difficult to replace him and it will be interesting to see who will be next Sporting coach.
While MU is great place to ruin your name. Remember that Ten Haag had great reputation in Ajax and where it is now. I hope that it won't hhappen to Amorim.
I think Amorim can be more successful than Ten Hag. Ten Hag was the victim of wrong player selection. Now he was sent off the team and Amorim will replace him. I think Amorim has a very good reading ability. Amorim is a better manager than him. He can have long-term success with Manchester United and he also had a long success streak with Sporting Lisbon. I think this will continue. If he creates such a foundation in Manchester United, why wouldn't he be successful? I think he will add Gyökeres to Manchester United along with himself and solve the striker problem.
In my opinion, the Sporting coach should not have accepted to go to Manchester United, just as Erik Ten Hag should not have accepted to go to Manchester United, he was successful at Ajax. Note that after Ferguson retired, Manchester United hired many coaches, 8 coaches came after Ferguson. When you have a coach who stayed at the team for 27 years and then retires and in the 11 years after his retirement the team hired 8 coaches, it means that something is not right.
1 -
David Moyes: he became the coach of Manchester United and failed to win the Premier League and did not even stay for at least 3 seasons and was fired early.
2 -
Ryan Giggs: who was a great player at Manchester United, became the interim coach of Manchester United, but did not stay long.
3 -
Louis Van Gaal: a great coach. When he became Manchester United's coach, he had a history of successes with Barcelona, Ajax and Bayern. But he didn't win the Premier League and was fired early.
4 -
José Mourinho: he had some successes with Manchester United, but as he couldn't win the Premier League, he was fired.
5 -
Ole Solskjaer: he was another great Manchester United player and he ruined his good reputation when he became Manchester United's coach. He couldn't win the Premier League and was fired.
6 -
Michael Carrick: another former great Manchester United player who became Manchester United's coach, but for a short time.
7 -
Ralf Rangnick: he also didn't win the Premier League.
8 -
Erik Ten Hag: he also didn't win the Premier League and ruined his reputation.
The Sporting coach is a good coach, but the Premier League is much more difficult than the Portuguese league. In the premier league there are many strong teams and if he fails to win the premier league in 2 years, he will also be fired
