The ex-Sporting coach signed a contract until the summer of 2027 with an option to extend for another season
39-year-old Portuguese Ruben Amorim officially became head coach Manchester United.
The specialist signed a contract until the summer of 2027 with an option to extend for another season. He will join the new club on November 11, until his arrival Ruud van Nistelrooy will continue to lead the team, under whose leadership Manchester United have already managed to defeat Leicester (5:2) in the English League Cup.
Let us remind you that earlier it became known that Lisbon Sporting will receive 10 million euros in compensation + bonuses for their coach.
Ruben Amorim has led the Portuguese club since 2020. Sporting under his leadership became twice champions and won the Portuguese Cup twice. Last season, the Green-Whites overtook Benfica to claim their 20th league title in history. This season, the Lions won all 9 opening matches of the Portuguese Primeira Liga, reached the 1/16 of the Cup and the semi-finals of the League Cup, and scored seven points out of a possible nine in the Champions League.
It was previously reported that Amorim is on Manchester City’s list of interests if Pep Guardiola leaves.
Manchester United announced the dismissal of head coach Erik ten Hag on Monday. Ten Hag’s assistant, ex-Manchester United forward Ruud van Nistelrooy, has been appointed interim coach of the Red Devils.
Under the leadership of van Nistelrooy, Manchester United yesterday made it to the quarter finals of the English League Cup, defeating Leicester at home (5:2).
The Red Devils will play their next match on November 3 in the Premier League against Mikhail Mudrik’s Chelsea.
It’s done.
Bem-vindo ao Manchester United, Ruben Amorim 🇵🇹🤝🔴#MUFC
