It has been notable how Ruben Amorim has virtually disappeared off the radar since his dismissal by Manchester United in January.
Other than being spotted watching tennis great Carlos Alcaraz at the Qatar Open in February, and more recently being pictured at a Padel Expo in Lisbon last month with Manchester City sporting director Hugo Viana, who worked with him at Sporting, Amorim has kept a low profile and not spoken to the media about his time at Old Trafford.
The former Sporting boss did not post a message on social media following his dismissal and sources close to the 41-year-old say he has no plans to speak to the media any time soon.
Amorim has been linked with a return to management at Benfica, the club for which he made 154 appearances over a six-year period to 2015.
Jose Mourinho is currently in charge but, ahead of Sunday's derby clash with Sporting, Benfica sit third in the table with five games remaining and are in danger of missing out on Champions League qualification.
