Chelsea is in talks with Sporting's Rben Amorim about the position of manager.




Chelsea has held talks with Sporting CP's Rben Amorim as they look for their next permanent manager.

Julian Nagelsmann and Luis Enrique have been mentioned as early frontrunners for the Stamford Bridge job, but Chelsea are determined not to act hastily following Graham Potter's abrupt dismissal. The appointment of Frank Lampard as interim head coach until the end of the season has given them time to think things through, and they have already spoken to at least four of the candidates on their shortlist.


Amorim, one of the managers identified as a possible replacement for Potter, has established a reputation as one of Europe's brightest young coaching talents. The 38-year-old won the Portuguese title with Sporting in 2021 and has been instrumental in the club's success in Europe this season. The Portuguese club defeated Tottenham in the Champions League group stage and, despite failing to advance to the last 16, did enough to earn a place in the Europa League knockout stages.



Sporting have continued to shine in Europe, trouncing Premier League opponents once more when they knocked Arsenal out of the Europa League last month. Despite losing 1-0 to Juventus in the first leg of their quarter-final on Thursday, they still have a chance to advance to the last four.

There is no indication that Amorim is Chelsea's preferred candidate. He will also have to be convinced that moving to Chelsea is the best move for his career. Amorim, whose contract includes a large buyout clause, has stated that he will carefully select his next job.


Chelsea have previously met with Enrique and contacted Nagelsmann's representatives. Behdad Eghbali, Chelsea's co-owner, admires Nagelsmann. However, while Although the 35-year-old German is interested in moving to the Premier League after being fired by Bayern Munich, there is no guarantee he will be hired.
