Ruben Amorim has been sacked as head coach of Manchester United with the club deciding to part ways with the Portuguese manager following a run of disappointing results and a media outburst from the manager aimed at the club’s hierarchy.
Amorim was first appointed by Manchester United’s minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe in November 2024 following the dismissal of Erik ten Hag on a contract running until the summer of 2027.
He spent 14 months in charge of Man Utd but was relieved of his duties following a meeting with Jason Wilcox and Omar Berrada.
Amorim’s dismissal comes following his comments after the draw with Leeds United over the club’s hierarchy interfering with his role as manager. His leaves United sitting sixth in the Premier League table and 17 points behind leaders Arsenal.
