Rúben Amorim revealed that he did not receive an invitation from Benfica to take over the technical command of the team. According to the coach, it was very clear that he was not going to coach any team and that he was expected to be idle for a year.
The coach publicly revealed that working in Portugal was completely out of the question for him. This position explains the reason why there was no formal negotiation with Benfica or any other Portuguese club.
Amorim's situation indicates that the coach had defined plans to step away from Portuguese football during that period, possibly for personal or professional reasons that were not specified in the article.
The fact that Benfica was mentioned in the title suggests there were speculations about a possible connection between the club and the coach, but the reality, according to Amorim, was quite different from what was being said.
