They are surprised by his decision to leave the club after only two months of the season. This tense climate was also confirmed by Amorim himself, who spoke of the need to “remove the elephant from the room” by addressing the question to his players.

Selon THE GAMEAmorim's departure left Hjulmand and Gyökeres particularly dissatisfied. Both players had declined offers during the summer transfer window. They were motivated by Sporting's ambitious project and the promise of stability embodied by the presence of Amorim. Pedro Gonçalves also reportedly expressed his frustration towards the announced departure of his coach.

After the victory against Nacional, Gyökeres tried to avoid questions about Amorim's future. “He [Amorim] is still here, and that's what I'm focusing on. We will see what happens, but I prefer not to get exhausted about it,” he told Sport TV.
