Ruben Amorim has been sacked by Manchester United after 14 months as manager.
His final game for the club was yesterday’s 1-1 draw against rivals Leeds United.
After the game, Amorim told United director of football Jason Wilcox and United’s scouting team to “do their jobs” as he said he wanted to be allowed to be the “manager, not the coach”.
Amorim was announced as “head coach” by the Red Devils when he arrived from Sporting CP 14 months ago. Ruben Amorim has departed his role as Head Coach of Manchester United.
Ruben was appointed in November 2024 and led the team to a UEFA Europa League Final in Bilbao in May.
With Manchester United sitting sixth in the Premier League, the club’s leadership has reluctantly made the decision that it is the right time to make a change. This will give the team the best opportunity of the highest possible Premier League finish.
The club would like to thank Ruben for his contribution to the club and wishes him well for the future.
Darren Fletcher will take charge of the team against Burnley on Wednesday.
