With Sporting listed on the stock market, they are legally obligated to inform the CMVM of any developments that could impact the club’s operations.
This transparency requirement led Sporting to release a detailed statement, which read:
“Sporting, under Article 17 of Regulation (EU) No. 596/2014, informs the market as follows: 1. Manchester United FC expressed interest in hiring coach Ruben Amorim, and Sporting’s Board of Directors has referred to the terms and conditions outlined in his employment contract, including the €10 million termination clause; 2. Manchester United FC has expressed willingness to pay Sporting SAD the specified amount.”
Amorim, currently preparing Sporting for a Taca da Liga match against Nacional at Estadio Jose Alvalade, may be overseeing his final game with the club on Tuesday night.
The 39-year-old manager has become a hot commodity in European football, and United’s pursuit signals their urgency to bring fresh leadership to Old Trafford.
