Manchester United Sack Ruben Amorim

Manchester United have sacked head coach Ruben Amorim with immediate effect following a period of poor results and public tension between the manager and the club’s hierarchy.

Multiple reports from reliable news outlets indicate that United and Amorim have ended their working relationship as the club seeks to address its position in the Premier League and reset its campaign.

Amorim’s departure comes after United endured a difficult run of form, including inconsistent league results that left the club outside the top four and under pressure from supporters and media commentators.

Recent matches, such as a 1-1 draw with Leeds United, saw Amorim make candid remarks during press conferences in which he emphasised his role and frustrations, stating that he saw himself as “the manager of Manchester United, not just the coach,” and that he would continue in his post unless the board chose otherwise.

During his tenure, which began in November 2024 when he succeeded Erik ten Hag, Amorim guided United to mixed outcomes across competitions but struggled to maintain consistency in league play, contributing to growing internal debate about the club’s direction and tactical approach.

Sources also referenced reports of strategic disagreements with the club’s sporting director over recruitment and tactical structure.

The club is expected to begin its search for a new manager immediately as it aims to stabilise results in the Premier League and other competitions.

Interim arrangements or coaching adjustments are likely to be announced ahead of upcoming fixtures while the leadership identifies a long-term replacement.
