LONDON, Jan 5 (Bernama-PA Media/dpa) -- Ruben Amorim has been sacked as Manchester United head coach, PA Media/dpa reported.
United said in a statement issued on Monday that the Portuguese, who took charge in November 2024, had left the role, with the club’s leadership having “reluctantly made the decision that it is the right time to make a change.”
The club added in the statement: “This will give the team the best opportunity of the highest possible Premier League finish.”
United are sixth in the top flight after a 1-1 draw at Leeds on Sunday.
After that game, an irate Amorim stressed he is Manchester United’s manager rather than just the coach, during an eye-catching press conference in which he told the scouting department and sporting director “to do their job.”
The 40-year-old had alluded to frustration behind the scenes in the build-up to the match as the United boss refused to clarify his recent comments about the club’s transfer plans.
