Edwards, who joined Vitoria Guimaraes in 2019 and later moved to Sporting, thrived under Amorim's guidance.
He believes his former coach will lead the Red Devils into a much better situation in the near future
“The best coach I’ve had,” Edwards told The Mail this week.
“He took my game to a new level. I really came to understand high-level football when I was around him.
“That helped me improve my game and there are things he implemented in me I will take with me for the rest of my career.
“I was 23 when I came in, and the mindset of how he coaches, the drills, the intensity, the running, everything, just took my game to a new level.
“Standards were high and nothing ever slipped because you knew he would take you out of the team. You had to come in training every day like it’s a game.”
