Ruben Amorim, recently sacked by Manchester United, could return to coaching if Jose Mourinho takes over the Portugal national team.
A potential managerial shuffle could see Ruben Amorim make a swift return to the dugout, as Jose Mourinho is reportedly the top candidate to take over the Portuguese national team after the upcoming World Cup.
Jose Mourinho, who is currently at the helm of Benfica, has openly expressed his ambition to manage his home country.
This long-held dream could soon become a reality, creating a high-profile vacancy at the Lisbon club. The speculation comes as Roberto Martinez prepares to lead Portugal into the World Cup, which kicks off in North America on June 11.

Like many of his international counterparts, Martinez's contract with the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) is set to expire at the tournament's conclusion.

Job Ochieng Receives Message from Benni McCarthy and ex-Arsenal Defender After La Liga Debut
Kenyan forward Job Ochieng has been lauded by Harambee Stars coach Benni McCarthy and former Arsenal defender Nacho Monreal following his historic La Liga debut.
Ruben Amorim Could Make Swift Return to Coaching
Anticipating this change, the FPF has reportedly identified Jose Mourinho as its primary target to succeed Martinez.
Despite signing a two-year deal with Benfica last September after his departure from Fenerbahce, sources suggest the federation will attempt to persuade him to transition into international management this summer.
Should Jose Mourinho accept the national team role, it would open the door for Ruben Amorim, who has been out of work since his dismissal from Manchester United in early January.
While his tenure in the Premier League may have dented his reputation abroad, Amorim is still highly respected in Portugal.
His previous success with Sporting Lisbon and his nine-year playing career there would likely make him the leading contender for the Benfica job.

England Legend Jokes Kobbie Mainoo Should Sue Former Man United Boss Ruben Amorim
Gary Lineker has taken a swipe at former Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim as Kobbie Mainoo's form improves following his departure.
Jose Mourinho's illustrious career has spanned over two decades at the pinnacle of club football, with successful stints at Porto, Chelsea, Real Madrid, Inter Milan, and Manchester United, among others.
However, he has yet to manage on the international stage, a challenge he has made clear he would only undertake with Portugal.
"I want to play a European Championship or a World Cup and unite a country around a team, as I have already done many times with clubs," Mourinho stated in a 2023 interview. "I want to do it for football and what this sport represents. It will be incredible."
He later reinforced this sentiment when linked with the Brazil job, which ultimately went to Carlo Ancelotti. "My destiny, in terms of internationals, is to play in a World Cup with the Portuguese national team," he said. "My first experience has to be with Portugal."
Currently, Jose Mourinho's Benfica side sits third in the Primeira Liga, trailing leaders Porto by seven points. The team is also preparing for a crucial Champions League play-off against Real Madrid for a spot in the last 16, following a dramatic 4-2 victory over the Spanish giants in their final group stage match.
