The end-of-season managerial merry-go-round will take on even more significance this summer with European superpowers Barcelona, Liverpool and Bayern Munich all looking for a new coach at the helm.
The steadily increasing number of suitors forming a queue outside the door of Ruben Amorim, the 39-year-old Sporting Lisbon manager, would suggest the chances of him remaining there for a fifth season are unlikely.
Amorim still has work to do in Lisbon, though. With four games left to play, Sporting are seven points clear and within touching distance of his second Portuguese league title since he joined the club in March 2020.
