[citation needed] Amoros was born in France to Spanish parents, escaping from Francisco Franco's regime.

In the 1982 semi-final against West Germany, he hit the crossbar in the 89th minute,[citation needed] and in the penalty shoot-out he converted his kick before France were eventually eliminated.

[citation needed] In the 1984 European Championships held in France, Amoros showed an egregious side of him when, during the opening game against Denmark, he was sent off for head-butting the Danish midfielder Jesper Olsen.

However, in the final against Spain, national coach Michel Hidalgo used him as a substitute in a game that Les Bleus won by 2–0 at the Parc des Princes.

[citation needed] In June 2010, Amoros was appointed national team manager for the Comoros Islands,[6] which coached to September 2010.
