Amorim has also been open about what might tempt him away from Portugal.

And it's been said so many times..

"I've already said it, I've had contacts with other clubs, Sporting even knows, but I always wanted to stay because I like being at Sporting.

Right now, I want to stay here, I want to fulfil my contract and I have very clear objectives for what I want to do.

"And the club that wants me like Sporting wanted me, has to pay the clause.

I can't invite myself to other clubs, because my way of leading doesn't work that way.

"I'm very happy where I am, I want to stay here and I know very well that there are times when people say I'm going to other clubs and others when people say I have to leave because I'm not fulfilling my goals: and I'm not in the championship right now.

"But going back to the beginning, I've seen many coaches change from one moment to the next and then they are not happy.

Tonight (Friday), Amorim guides his team back into action after the international break with an away game against Estrela Amadora.

Liverpool.com says: Sporting might get a few more people than usual tuning in to watch them tonight.
