Rúben Amorim: "Clearly I was not going back to Portugal"

RTP Notícias15 September 2026 at 15:00

Rúben Amorim, coach of AC Milan, was questioned about an invitation allegedly made by Rui Costa, president of Benfica, to manage the red and white team. The Portuguese coach did not confirm having received any invitation from the Lisbon club.

The headline phrase, "Clearly I was not going back to Portugal," reflects Amorim's position regarding a possible transfer to Benfica, suggesting he had no intention of leaving the Italian club to return to Portuguese football.

Amorim is currently leading AC Milan, having left Sporting at the start of the season to take on the challenge in Italy. The contractual situation with the Milanese club and his recent adaptation to Italian football appear to be among the reasons influencing his decision.

Why this matters

This news is relevant for Benfica fans who closely follow the possibility of the club hiring a new coach. It is also of interest to readers in Portugal due to Amorim's connection to Portuguese football, as the coach has previously managed Sporting before heading to Milan. Amorim's non-confirmation leaves the outcome of this negotiation open.

Benfica's Ukrainian goalkeeper, Anatoliy Trubin, shared on social media images of an intensive individual training session, in which he worked specifically on passing and footwork, one of the areas identified as needing improvement in his performance. The post comes at a time when the player has lost his starting spot to Samuel Soares, relegated to a secondary role in the goalkeeper hierarchy by Marco Silva. Trubin is thus looking to demonstrate to the coach that he still deserves a prominent place in the Eagles' goal.
