But the Guardian claims fresh talks have been held with Amorim over the vacancy. There is no suggestion yet that he is a leading candidate for the Chelsea hierarchy.
Amorim’s first taste of senior management was at Portuguese third-tier side Casa Pia in 2018. He then had a spell at Braga, where he won the League Cup, a tournament he has won a further two times with Sporting.
He took over at Sporting in March 2020 and won the club their first top-flight title in 19 years during his first full season in charge. Amorim is also growing a reputation on the European stage.
Sporting reached the last-16 of the Champions League last year, where they came up against a rampant Manchester City, and they are in the quarter-final of the Europa League this term. They will be aiming to overturn a 1-0 deficit against Juventus in the second leg next Thursday.
