In a stunning twist to the Premier League's managerial carousel, both Manchester United and Arsenal are said to be keeping tabs on Sporting Lisbon's highly-rated boss Ruben Amorim.
Meanwhile, speculation continues to mount over Mikel Arteta's future at the Emirates, with some reports suggesting the Spaniard could be tempted by a new challenge.
Amorim: The Hot Property
The 38-year-old Portuguese tactician has been turning heads across Europe with his impressive work at Sporting, leading them to their first league title in 19 years back in 2021.
His attractive, attacking brand of football and ability to develop young talent has made him one of the most sought-after coaches in the game today.
Manchester United's Interest
With Erik ten Hag's position at Old Trafford looking increasingly precarious after a disappointing season, Amorim has emerged as a serious contender to take the reins.
The Red Devils' new minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe is believed to be a big admirer of Amorim's philosophy and man-management skills.
Arsenal's Potential Move
While Arteta has done an excellent job at Arsenal, guiding them back into title contention, there are whispers that the club's hierarchy might be tempted by Amorim's potential.
Some sources claim the Gunners see the Portuguese coach as the perfect man to take them to the next level should Arteta decide to move on.
What This Means for Arteta
The Arsenal boss has been linked with several top jobs across Europe, including Barcelona and Bayern Munich.
While he remains committed to the project in North London for now, the emergence of Amorim as a potential replacement could change the dynamics of the situation.
As the Premier League season enters its crucial final months, all eyes will be on these developing stories that could reshape the managerial landscape of English football's top clubs.
