As soon as they parted ways with Steven Gerrard, The Villains started to play proper football and crushed Brentford 4-0, under the temporary command of coach Aaron Dunks. But the caretaker manager will not get a chance to take the team permanently, as the Aston Villa brass is looking for a flashier signing. And according to the latest reports, it will be one of the most prosperous young coaches – Ruben Amorim. The 37-year-old Portuguese is at the top of the list when it comes to the new head coaches, and if Villa doesn’t hire him, somebody else will, sooner or later. But…🚨 Aston Villa would have to pay a £26.3m release clause to appoint Rúben Amorim, a world record fee for a manager.

Before him, in 2011, the leaders of Chelsea paid Porto 15 million euros for the engagement of Andre Villas-Boas, while Leicester, when bringing in Brendan Rodgers in 2019, transferred about 11 million euros to Celtic’s account. Later, Julian Naglesmann came out on top of the list, because Bayern judged that he was worth a job in Munich and paid 25 million euros to bring him from Leipzig.Villa are flying high without Steve G, Foxes thrash Wolves and Mitro’s still on fireAll the numbers could be beaten by Ruben Amorim if Aston Villa really wants him. The reason is that during the renewal of cooperation with Sporting, in the summer of 2021, immediately after winning the title, the buyout clause for the coach was set at 30 million euros. Whoever pays for it will make Amor the most expensive football coach. Amorim himself allegedly confided to his friends that he has no intention of leaving Lisbon until the end of the season, regardless of the results, and that a job change will only come into consideration next summer. Aston Villa can’t wait that long, but if they decide to pay compensation…##NAJAVA_MECA_6746848##One thing is clear: Ruben Amorim is known as one of the most talented European coaches of the junior guard. He brought Sporting the title they had been waiting for 19 years, he won the Portuguese League Cup with Braga, he did the same with the Lions twice, and at the same time he took care of the youth, and during his tenure as many as 17 students from the famous club’s academy got a chance in the first team. The players are progressing under Amorim’s tutorship and the proof of that was this summer, when Matheus Nunes and Joao Palhinha were sold to Wolverhampton and Fulham, they play regularly in the Premier League, from their transfers the club earned 65 million euros, and in the meantime, they became Portugal national team members.
