Amorim no dey smile for him face after him drop points for di recent match, plus him don dey complain say di board dey interfere too much for how him wan run him team.
When he took dis job for November 2024, he carry dem reach UEFA Europa League Final for Bilbao last May. But now, di way things dey go no be here. Di man dey insist on him 3-man defense formation, but even for Boxing Day match, he try change am to 4-man defense, wetin no help matta at all.
