Although recently-sacked Julian Nagelsmann is the bookmakers' favourite, other names such as Luis Enrique and Mauricio Pochettino have been linked with the job. However, Amorim, who has previously spoken with the Chelsea hierarchy, should not be discounted, according to Football Insider.
The 38-year-old has already enhanced his reputation in the Europa League, and his Primeira Liga title achievement has kept him in the sights of many clubs across Europe. Amorim has won 102 of his 148 matches in charge of Sporting, suffering just 25 defeats, and has also been linked with the vacant Tottenham Hotspur job.
