Hugo Viana is set to advocate for Sporting CP manager Ruben Amorim as Pep Guardiola’s successor if he becomes the director of football at Manchester City.
With Txiki Begiristain expected to step down after 12 years in the role, Viana has emerged as the leading candidate to take over, and reports suggest that City has already begun talks with him.
