Ruben Amorim responds to Liverpool links

Amorim has emerged as one of the most impressive young managers in Europe since joining Sporting.

The 39-year-old delivered Sporting their first League title in 19 years during his first season in charge and could lift the trophy again this year, with his side currently one point clear atop of the table.

Such impressive achievements at such a young age are no doubt a key reason for Liverpool being linked with the Sporting manager.

However, Amorim insisted recently that he only had eyes for his current job despite so many links with a move to Liverpool:

“Right now I’m just focused on Sporting,” he told reporters.

“I am very proud to be Sporting’s manager. I have a contract, and even more importantly than that, I’m very happy here. My focus is on beating Benfica.”
