Reports previously indicated that Manchester City is looking to replace their sporting director, Txiki Begiristain, who is set to leave at the end of the season, with Hugo Viana from Sporting CP. However, Viana may not be making the move from Lisbon to Manchester on his own.
Details: According to The Guardian, should Pep Guardiola decide to depart, City could also turn to Sporting’s head coach Ruben Amorim as a potential successor. Amorim’s strong working relationship with Viana could smoothen his adaptation to the City setup.
Reminder: Guardiola’s future with City remains uncertain, as the manager has yet to give a definitive answer on whether he will continue with the team.
Amorim was close to moving to the English Premier League this summer, with interest from Liverpool and West Ham. Liverpool ultimately chose Arne Slot, while negotiations with West Ham fell through despite the 39-year-old manager holding personal talks in London.
