According to sources, Ronaldo, who shares a close bond with Amorim from their time with the national team, affectionately refers to the Sporting coach as “The Professor” due to his tactical acumen and disciplined approach to training.
Amorim, whose reputation has risen sharply since taking charge at Sporting, has led his team to success with a style focused on high-pressing and adaptability, attributes that have reportedly piqued Manchester United’s interest as they look for a possible managerial successor.
Amorim’s impressive track record, including leading Sporting to their first league title in nearly two decades, has made him a popular candidate among United fans and pundits alike.
The nickname highlights the level of respect Ronaldo has for Amorim, reflecting the manager’s meticulous style and influence on Portugal’s training sessions.
With Manchester United’s ongoing search for stability, Amorim’s potential arrival could represent a shift toward a fresh, tactical approach.
However, with Amorim committed to Sporting, any move would likely require careful negotiation, though the respect shared between Ronaldo and Amorim could add an intriguing dynamic to the ongoing rumors.
