The Portuguese coach, second only to Szabo in the list of coaches with the most games for the club, still has a 'curious' challenge that the club's history leaves him, since both the Hungarian and the Englishman managed to win at least three titles for the Alvalade emblem, also succeeding Cândido de Oliveira as the second Portuguese 'green and white' 'bi'. Starting with Szabo, the former international midfielder born in 1896, 10 years before Sporting was founded, had a career as a player, first at Ferencváros in his country and then in Madeira (Nacional and Marítimo), also passing through FC Porto. That's where he began his coaching career, first at the same time as he was a player, between the end of the 1920s and the beginning of the 1930s, collecting Porto championships and a Portugal championship, bringing Pinga to the club where he became an icon and then leaving for Sporting de Braga. He became 'famous' for having taken the red jerseys to Braga, after an internship in London where he was reportedly 'inspired' by Arsenal (making the Minho club known as 'arsenalistas' to this day), before 'landing' in Alvalade, in 1936/37. He won Sporting's first national championship in 1940/41, among other titles, and inscribed his name in the history of the 'lion', but he didn't stop there, because he added another one in 1943/44, a 'bi' certainly unprecedented at the time. Randolph Galloway, who died in 1964, was the first three-time football champion in Portugal, leading the 'lions' without Peyroteo but with the same devastating offensive power, managing to win the championship in 1950/51, 1951/52 and 1952/53. The Englishman from Sunderland, born in 1899, had been a forward and did not have a major career outside the 'green and whites', which he left after the 'tri', the club's only one so far, on his own initiative. That Sporting, moreover, would become 'tetra' the following year, proving the credentials of a great team, having had a familiar face on the bench. Already naturalized Portuguese, and answering more to José than to the native Joszéf, the 'Hungarian magician' Szabo returned to Lumiar to lead Sporting to that fourth unprecedented title, in 1953/54 and to his third in the emblem, and his love for the club led him to also work in the youth teams. Amorim, who also has connections to Sporting de Braga, a club he coached and played for, has several points in common with Galloway and Szabo, having won the title in 2020/21 and now in 2023/24, leaving the doubt as to whether he will also advance to a 'tri'. Without going to the third title, Otto Glória added six championships but only two with the 'lions', the first time having guided only one matchday -- he resigned, because he could not make "omelettes without eggs", and was replaced by Juca. He would return later, in 1965/66, accumulating the position with the national team, to win the I League with authority, making a 'strange' two-time championship. Before that, it was Cândido de Oliveira, one of the most unmissable figures in the history of Portuguese football, to lead the 'lions' for the first time in Portuguese, adding titles in 1947/48 and in 1948/49. Together with his assistant Fernando Vaz, Oliveira marked an era in training and physical condition, produced knowledge about sports practice, helped to found the newspaper A Bola and, at Sporting, became known for an even greater feat than the two-time championship: bringing together the 'Five Violins'.
