Portuguese manager Ruben Amorim is reportedly on the verge of taking over as Benfica’s new head coach this summer, marking a significant step in his managerial career revival.
According to reports, the 41-year-old is being lined up to replace Jose Mourinho at the Estadio da Luz, with Mourinho expected to make a high-profile switch to Real Madrid ahead of the new season.
Amorim has been without a club since his dismissal from Manchester United in January, following a difficult spell in the Premier League.
However, his reputation remains strong in Portugal, largely due to his impressive tenure at Sporting CP, where he enjoyed notable domestic success.
