Former Portugal international Ruben Amorim was confirmed Thursday as manager of Sporting Lisbon in a deal making him the nation’s most expensive club coach.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s career has always been closely linked with Sporting CP, the club he joined at the age of 12 before making his first-team debut in the 2002/03 season.In bringing Amorin from Braga, a 10 million buyout clause was triggered for the 35-year-old ex-midfielder, in the biggest ever payout for a club coach.
Taking the helm at Braga is Custodio Castro, a former player for the club aged 36 who until now ran the under-17 squad. Silas quit after only six months in the job following the league defeat to Famalicao only a week after they were dumped out of the Europa Cup. That defeat came after Sporting, the Portuguese Cup holders, were knocked out of the competition this season in the early rounds by the amateurs from third division, Alvera.
Amorim becomes the sixth coach to take charge of the club in the 18 months since Frederico Varanda was named president.
