Manchester United chose Amorim as Erik ten Hag’s successor after sacking the Dutchman amid a poor start to the season.
Ruben Amorim motivation
Manchester United are offering Ruben Amorim a big salary increase as part of his new role, which is to be expected.
Yet Ruben Amorim’s motivation to leave Sporting is about far more than money. He recognises the need to test himself.
Amorim has won two league titles at Sporting, making history as the only manager to do so at the club since 1953.
Quoted via Mais Futebol, he explained that stepping out of his comfort zone was the key motivation in making a change.
Amorim said: “I think all coaches need that. I think that in everyone’s life, and in yours [journalists] too, there are times when we are doing very well in life but we are missing something or we want something or to prove something.
“And we have to take a step forward in things that destabilise us, that we don’t know if it will work or not, if we are or are not ruining what is good about us, but I think everyone feels that.
“You and coaches go through the same thing in your life.”
