The defeat, which stunned fans and analysts alike, sparked a wave of introspection from the Portuguese coach, who admitted that managing intense moments sometimes pushes him to the brink.
“Sometimes I want to quit, sometimes I want to be here for 20 years, sometime I want to be with my players, sometime I don’t want to be with them,” Amorim confessed, illustrating the conflicting emotions that accompany his role at the helm. The young manager’s openness resonated with many who understand the pressures of leadership in football’s high-stakes environment.
Despite his emotional response, Amorim expressed a strong desire to grow and improve, not just on the pitch but in how he manages his reactions.
“I want to get better at how I react. Football is a rollercoaster, and I need to handle those ups and downs more calmly,” he said.
