Ruben Amorim Bids Emotional Farewell to Sporting CP After Dramatic Win Over Braga

Ruben Amorim’s stunning comeback triumph over Braga marked a fitting conclusion to his tenure at Sporting CP before to his transfer to Manchester United.

Sporting was behind 2-0 at halftime, making Amorim’s final game as manager seem doomed. But in a thrilling last thirty-five minutes, his team scored four goals, changing the tide of the game and winning 4–2. After winning two Primeira Liga titles with the team, the exciting comeback gave Amorim the ideal send-off.

Amorim’s Tribute

Reflecting on the game, Amorim expressed his gratitude:

“I would have preferred not to suffer in this game but the way it ended… it was much more than I could have expected. From a week that could have been so difficult, and it was, but I’m so much more rested now, because of these players. They’re unbelievable.”

He continued:

“The truth is that we didn’t start well in the first half, we were slow, doing what other teams do to us, which is to waste time. In two transitions, we conceded goals that we could have avoided. But the second half was unbelievable and this feeling made everything more special. Today this adventure comes to an end, and I couldn’t have asked for a better moment.”
