Sporting CP president Federico Varandas is at ease with the possibility of the Portuguese club’s manager, Ruben Amorim, attracting interest from Manchester United and Manchester City. Varandas expressed his confidence and pride in the club’s achievements:
Federico Varandas said, “I’ve been hearing this question for over four years. I think this should make all Sporting fans and even the entire media proud; one of the best coaches in the world has been at Sporting for five years. That’s fantastic. In a structure where all the pieces are important, [the manager] is the most important piece of that structure. Today, the three of us [Varandas, Viana, and Amorim] have a friendly relationship. It is a fact that Ruben Amorim has a contract with Sporting until 2026. And, today, it’s a fact that Hugo Viana will be the sporting director of Manchester City next year. For me, that’s not an issue. I only live off what I can control.”
