THE Reuben Amorim in a few days she takes over her reins Manchester United. Before that, however, in his capacity as Sporting coach, he will welcome tonight (22:00) the Manchester City and deified him Pep Guardiola.
“City have the best team in the world and the best manager in the world. I feel like a better manager since then (including a 5-0 defeat in Lisbon by City in the first leg of the last 16 of the Champions League in 2022). But… unfortunately, I feel that Pep Guardiola has also become a better manager, so the gap is the same. Obviously Pep was an inspiration to many of us, coaches and others“, emphasized the Portuguese coach.
Acknowledging the interest his future club’s fans will have in tonight’s clash, Amorim commented: “The conclusions we draw after this match are not important to me, because they can be misleading. If the result is very negative, expectations will be lowered and I don’t think that will be a bad starting point. If we win, some will think that the new Alex Ferguson has arrived and that will be very difficult to support».
For his part, the Catalan coach of the “citizens” returned the compliments of his colleague, extolling Amorim’s work at Sporting: “They won the championship for the first time in 20 years. And that shows how good a job Amorim has done. They have changed players, but they have the same coach and the same mentality».
