Asked about his name, Amorim revealed: "It's a strange feeling to speak knowing that I won't be coming back here as Sporting's coach."

Then he was asked about the curiosity over his name, which is Ruben and not Rùben.

"The accent on my name? There isn't one: they wrote it like that when I went to Qatar the first time (to Al-Wakrah Sports Club, as a footballer) and I let them do it!"
