RedBird Capital Partners managing partner Gerry Cardinale gave the final green light for the deal, expressing his excitement about the fresh direction. Amorim made his name at Sporting CP, where he secured two Portuguese league titles by implementing a highly effective playing style. “We have tracked Rúben for years and his Sporting tenure is extremely impressive and reflects the style of play that we are looking for. He is one of the most prepared and innovative coaches of the new European generation – young, ambitious, and with a modern footballing identity defined by dominating games in possession, a modern pressing system and a clear tactical approach,” said Gerry Cardinale. “Rúben believes in high press attacking football with quick transitions that enable greater goal scoring. His philosophy aligns perfectly with our vision, while his leadership qualities and track record in developing players stood out to us. We believe in Rúben and are excited to welcome him to the Club.”
