Amorim’s ability to see potential where others saw fails has transformed these athletes into pivotal figures of Sporting’s revival.

While many might abandon clubs after a series of unfortunate performances, Amorim embraced these talents, understanding that not all footballers fit neatly into the expectations of the Premier League. Instead of treating failure as an end, he championed growth and development. Now, with his unique coaching style, players like these are thriving, finding a home on the pitch they once couldn't dominate.
