On the eve of Sporting’s reception to Santa Clara, Ruben Amorim was asked about the possibility of training Tottenham and returning to work with Pedro Porro, a player who recently praised him. In his own way, the Sporting coach ruled out the possibility of going to the London emblem .. «Obviously, I really enjoyed working with Porro. It’s difficult for us to buy Porro, so I see it with difficulty. Porro made his choice, it’s normal, they are different championships. I stay more for the affection I get with the players, the players for me and he followed a path. We didn’t stop being friends, we spoke many times, as I speak with Matheus [Nunes] and therefore I find it difficult at this moment to work together again. He would also have more difficulties now, because Esgaio is doing very well, it would be a healthy fight between him and Esgaio to play in the Sporting team, it is only in this aspect that I see the possibility of working with Porro again», said Amorim, at a press conference. It should be remembered that Spurs are on the market looking for the successor to Antonio Conte, a coach who was fired last week.
Later, at the press conference, Amorim was asked again about possible moves after the epic qualification in the Europa League, against Arsenal, and he responded like this. «I don’t receive phone calls, who has to receive calls is my agent, Raúl Costa, when he has to receive them. I didn’t get more than usual. It was a good tie, but I don’t like to talk about it. It’s over, we were there on merit, as for me we didn’t pass the Champions League due to some impossibility and own demerit in important situations. We aim to go as far as possible », he pointed out.
Sporting-Santa Clara will be played from 20:30 on Saturday, in Alvalade. Follow the game, up to the minute, on Maisfutebol.
