Cristiano Ronaldo has given Ruben Amorim the nickname “poet,” honoring the manager’s expressive and engaging demeanor.
Amorim, who has had a successful four-year stint at Sporting CP, is reportedly nearing a transfer to Manchester United. According to Portuguese outlet *A Bola*, United representatives are expected in Lisbon on Tuesday to finalize the deal after Sporting’s match against Nacional.
The 39-year-old coach is highly esteemed, with supporters like Bruno Fernandes praising Amorim’s impact. Fernandes commented, “Since Mr. Amorim joined Sporting, they’ve become one of the best teams in style and consistency. He’s well-prepared and has won two championships, ending a 20-year drought. His work is clearly exceptional.” Football journalist Marcus Alves shares this view, stating, “He has delivered consistently. Even with regular player sales, he maintains the team’s strength, proving that no player is bigger than the club.” Alves also noted that while the United position may seem challenging, it was equally daunting when Amorim took charge at Sporting.
Ronaldo’s “poet” nickname underscores Amorim’s impactful communication with players and the media. Alves remarked, “Amorim is articulate, charismatic, and commands respect. He won’t tolerate unprofessionalism and has brought unity to previously fractured teams.”
Amorim’s upcoming move to Manchester United is gaining attention, as his track record of leading Sporting to two championships and restoring their competitiveness speaks to his potential as a top-tier manager. His combination of tactical insight and strong interpersonal skills makes him a promising choice to steer Manchester United into a new chapter.
