Soccer-Amorim to stay at Sporting until next international break, reports say
Oct 31, 2024 12:00 AM

Oct 30 (Reuters) - Ruben Amorim will stay in charge of Sporting for the next three games before November's international break in less than two weeks when he would finally be set to become the next manager of Manchester United ( MANU ), Portuguese media said on Wednesday.

After Sporting said the Premier League side were prepared to pay his 10 million euro ($10.86 million) release clause, reports added the Portuguese club have agreed to release the coach before the 30-day notice period in his contract but not immediately.

"I have nothing to say now, we're analysing here. Anything I say will only create more noise," Amorim told a press conference on Tuesday after what many thought would be his last game when Sporting beat Nacional 3-1 in the Portuguese League Cup quarter-final.

"There's nothing to talk about. There's the club statement, everyone knows about it. It was said by the club. For the rest, we don't know the exact details. We'll see...

"I can't promise anything. What I do know is that I'll be at training tomorrow and I'll be preparing for the league game with Estrela da Amadora on Friday."

Sporting face Manchester City in the Champions League next Tuesday and Braga in the league on Nov. 10, which could be Amorim's final game in Portugal.

United's move for the 39-year-old coach came after the team sacked Dutchman Erik ten Hag on Monday with the club languishing in 14th place in the Premier League standings.

The English side's former striker Ruud van Nistelrooy has taken interim charge ahead of their League Cup clash against Leicester City later on Wednesday.

United then face Chelsea in the league at Old Trafford on Sunday. Next week they take on PAOK in the Europa League and Ipswich Town in the Premier League before the international break. ($1 = 0.9206 euros)
