Manchester United have made a significant managerial change by appointing Ruben Amorim as their new manager. The Portuguese tactician, who previously managed Sporting Clube de Portugal, has been brought in to replace Erik ten Hag after the Dutch manager was dismissed earlier this week.
At just 39 years old, Amorim becomes the youngest-ever manager in Manchester United’s history. He will be tasked with replicating the success he achieved with Sporting Clube de Portugal with the Red Devils.
One notable achievement of Amorim’s tenure at Sporting is the fact that he has not tasted defeat in any competition this season since his side fell in the Portuguese Super Cup final to FC Porto in a thrilling 4-3 game.
Manchester United and Ruben Amorim have agreed to a deal until the summer of 2027 with the option for another year. Currently, the 20-time English champions sit in 14th place in the league and will begin their new era under the Portuguese tactician on November 11. Assistant manager Ruud van Nistelrooy will take charge of the team until Amorim arrives.
Interestingly, Barcelona sporting director Deco had previously questioned Amorim’s abilities earlier this year when the Portuguese manager was linked with the Catalan club. Deco raised concerns about Amorim’s experience and readiness to take on the weight and responsibility of managing a club like Barcelona. However, Amorim responded by expressing his determination to prove his critics wrong.
Manchester United will be hoping that Amorim can lead the team to success and usher in a new era of glory at the club. He is set to make his managerial debut with the English giants on November 24 against Ipswich Town.
Overall, the appointment of Ruben Amorim as the new manager of Manchester United signals the start of a new chapter for the club. His youth, energy, and track record of success make him a promising choice to lead the team to greater heights in the coming years.
