Sporting Lisbon coach Ruben Amorim emerging as Tottenham target

Sporting Lisbon coach Ruben Amorim is emerging as a target for Tottenham.

After Antonio Conte's furious rant following yesterday's 3-3 draw with Southampton, the Italian's position is under serious threat.

The Daily Express says an obvious candidate to succeed Conte, who is off contract in June, is Amorim.

O Jogo says Amorim has Premier League ambitions and favours a project that would allow him to fight for titles. Tottenham would be an option, though for now, the coach refuses to pay much attention to such rumours.

Amorim has a deal with Sporting to 2026 and was considered by Manchester United last year before their move for former Ajax coach Erik ten Hag.
