Rui Miguel Félix Amorim Reis (born 8 April 1977) is a Portuguese football manager.

Career

Born in Porto, Amorim was an assistant manager at Futebol Clube da Foz [pt], Boavista F.C. and G.D. Ribeirão, as well as a conditioning coach at Vilanovense F.C. and Varzim S.C. and manager of Sport Clube de Canidelo [pt] and F.C. Pedras Rubras.

In 2014–15 and 2015–16 respectively, Amorim was the manager of SC Mirandela and Sport Benfica e Castelo Branco. He helped both teams to the promotion series of the Campeonato de Portugal.

Amorim was hired at S.C. Salgueiros of his home city in July 2016. On 6 October, he climbed up a level by being hired at C.D. Santa Clara of the LigaPro, when Quim Machado left after only two weeks. Having won once in 11 games, he was replaced by Carlos Pinto two months later.

On 18 January 2017, Amorim returned to the third tier at fourth-placed U.D. Leiria, signing an 18-month contract. He won 15 and lost 3 games over the remainder of the season, although the club were placed in the relegation series. By 8 October 2017, Leiria were the only team in Portugal's top three leagues to have won all their games (five in the league and two in the Taça de Portugal), as owner Alexander Tolstikov targeted a future place in European competitions. The team however missed out on promotion after losing their playoff semi-final to C.D. Mafra on the away goals rule in May 2018.
