RUBEN AMORIM has only been without a job for two days, and it seems he may quickly find new opportunities in his home country.
The Daily Mail reports that he is under pressure after falling 10 points behind in the race for the league title.

They are also sitting in 25th place, and the report indicates that he could be in the ‘pole position’ to replace another former Manchester United manager.
Mourinho’s position is reportedly ‘increasingly vulnerable,’ and the club has a history of pursuing Amorim.
Amorim previously dismissed rumors about returning to Benfica in September after presidential hopeful Joao Noronha Lopes expressed his desire to bring him back to the club.
Lopes even attended a match after stating that he envisioned Amorim as a future manager for Benfica, but he ultimately lost the election to club legend Rui Costa.
Amorim was let go from Man United on Monday following a heated outburst after the club's 1-1 draw the day before.
The Portuguese coach insisted that he wanted to be referred to as the manager, not just the head coach, and seemed to criticize director Jason Wilcocks and head of recruitment Christopher Vivell.
Ultimately, Amorim had to part ways with United, finishing his tenure with a win percentage of only 31.9 percent.
However, he left with a substantial compensation package, making him the most expensive manager in United's history.
Mourinho commented on Amorim’s departure earlier this week.
He stated: “What happened with Ruben is something only Ruben can analyze.
“I believe he will do so, along with his staff. Whether he will share his thoughts publicly, I cannot say.
“I know my own career at [the club] well. I also understand the reasons behind my exit.
“As I usually do, when I leave a club, I close the door and refrain from making comments. I do not analyze externally what occurred.
“A door closes, and another one opens. That was my experience when I left. The history remains, the statistics are unchanged, and the three medals came home—that’s all there is to it.”
