“He was a clown in the locker room”. Former Benfica teammate doesn't understand how Amorim became a coach

Ruben Amorim is hailed as one of the most promising coaches due to his achievements with Sporting. However, those who crossed paths with him during his playing days are surprised at how he managed to become a manager.

Details: Former Benfica teammate Roderick Miranda didn't take Ruben seriously, as he always maintained a jovial atmosphere, even though he had abilities in abundance.

Quote: “I never thought he would become a coach! Not because of his football skills or intellect, but because he was a clown in the locker room. He had a very cheerful personality, and he was always doing something to make people laugh. When I heard he started working as a coach, I was a bit surprised.

I thought, how could the guy I played with become so serious! But he was a very smart player. He could play in different positions, so maybe that's why he's a brilliant coach, because he understands the game so well,” Miranda said in an interview with Flashscore.

Reminder: It was previously reported that the Portuguese coach is interested in the services of 17-year-old Sunderland attacking midfielder Chris Rigg.
