5 Jan
Summary
- Ruben Amorim was dismissed from Manchester United after 14 months.
- His tenure ended following comments in a post-match press conference.
- Amorim stated he was the 'manager, not the coach'.
Ruben Amorim's tenure as manager of Manchester United has come to an end after only 14 months. The decision to sack the Portuguese manager was reportedly finalized following remarks made during his post-match press conference after the team's recent 1-1 draw against Leeds United.
In his statements, Amorim emphasized his distinct role, asserting, "I am the manager, not the coach." He also indicated a pre-existing plan for his departure, noting that his time with the club was "going to finish in 18 months and then everyone is going to move on."
This clarification of his managerial status and forward-looking perspective on his contract appears to have been the catalyst for his immediate dismissal. The club has now moved to replace Amorim, concluding a chapter that lasted just over a year.
