Brighton coach praises Rúben Amorim
Fabian Hurzeler, the youngest manager in Premier League history, refuses to give advice to the current Sporting boss, who is well on his way to joining Manchester United
The likely arrival of Rúben Amorim at Manchester United is the topic of the moment in Portugal and England. This Tuesday, Fabian Hurzeler, the youngest coach in the history of the Premier League , who is in charge of Brighton , was confronted about the subject.
“He [Rúben Amorim] is 39 years old, eight years older than me. I think he has already achieved great things in Portugal. I have seen some of Sporting ’s games , they play incredible football, they are a dominant team on the ball. I am not in a position to give him advice. If he needs advice, he would be better off calling Pep [Guardiola] or Jurgen Klopp. I am not in a position to give anyone advice. I am also in a learning process. I try to do my best. Let’s see what happens, it is always good to compete with new coaches. It will be another challenge”, he said, in a press conference.
Sporting confirmed this Tuesday to CMVM that Manchester United is preparing to pay 10 million euros to take Rúben Amorim. If the departure goes through, A BOLA knows that the successor has been chosen and is João Pereira, who was Sporting ‘s under-23 coach in 2022/2023 and took the same position this season, but in the B team.
