Ex-Man Utd Boss Amorim Spotted at Qatar Tennis Open
20 Feb
Summary
- Ruben Amorim, recently sacked from Manchester United, was seen at the Qatar Open.
- Amorim watched Carlos Alcaraz defeat Karen Khachanov in Doha.
- Fans expressed surprise on social media regarding Amorim's attendance.
Ruben Amorim, the former Manchester United manager, was observed attending the Qatar Open tennis championship in Doha on Thursday. The 41-year-old coach has been keeping a low profile since his dismissal from Manchester United last month, following a 14-month tenure marked by disagreements with the club's hierarchy. Amorim reportedly received a £12 million pay-off after his sacking, which occurred after a draw at Leeds.
His presence in Doha was unexpected, with cameras panning to him during Carlos Alcaraz's 6-7, 6-4, 6-3 victory over Karen Khachanov. This moment surprised Sky Sports commentators and football fans on social media, who expressed their astonishment at seeing the former United manager at a tennis event. Amorim appeared relaxed while watching the match from a private area, seemingly enjoying some time away from the football world.
While Amorim has been linked to several coaching positions since leaving Old Trafford, his attendance at the tennis championship suggests a period of respite. Meanwhile, Manchester United has seen improved results under his successor, Michael Carrick. One of Amorim's former players, Matheus Cunha, recently credited him for playing a significant role in the team's current success.
