Amorim is the sixth permanent manager of the Premier League club since the retirement of Alex Ferguson in 2013
Then- Sporting head coach Ruben Amorim during a Portuguese League Cup soccer match against Nacional, at the Alvalade stadium, in Lisbon, on Oct. 29.Manchester United hired Ruben Amorim on Friday, gambling on a manager unproven in Europe’s top leagues to turn around the fortunes of the fading English power.
“Ruben is one of the most exciting and highly rated young coaches in European football,” United said. Amorim, a former Portugal midfielder who spent the majority of his club career at Benfica, joins after United paid €10-million to release him from his contract at Sporting, which he led to two Portuguese titles in four full seasons in charge.
Amorim ended Sporting’s 19-year title drought in the Portuguese league in 2021 to end the dominance of rivals Benfica and Porto, and won the League Cup that year, too, in his first season in charge. In the meantime, Ruud van Nistelrooy will stay in interim control of United, taking charge of three games before the international break, which are all at home: against Chelsea and Leicester in the Premier League either side of a Europa League match against PAOK.He reportedly held talks with West Ham last season before the London team hired Julen Lopetegui, and was also linked with replacing Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool before Arne Slot was appointed.
