Sporting CP coach Amorim not tempted by Chelsea, Spurs

Sporting CP coach Ruben Amorim insists he's not tempted by offers from England.

Amorim has interest from Tottenham and Chelsea.

But he said today: “I've seen many coaches move to other leagues and not be happier.

“It sounds a bit cliche, but I think it's an important factor in the decision [to be happy]. And I'm not looking for anything.

“And by the way, I want to value what I have and not what is said. And it's been said so many times… I've already said it, I've had contacts with other clubs, Sporting even knows, but I always wanted to stay because I like being at Sporting.

“If I ever have to leave here, either because I was pushed out with white handkerchiefs, or because I went to another club, it will happen.

“But being here doing my part, I won't be opening the door and leaving it ajar, because I think Sporting deserves another respect.

“If I have to go, I will. If I ever want to go, I'll tell the president and Hugo Viana, and I'll go.

“Right now, I want to stay here, I want to fulfill my contract and I have very clear objectives for what I want to do."
