Manchester United Confirms Ruben Amorim as New Head Coach

Manchester United has officially announced the hiring of Ruben Amorim as its new head coach. The 39-year-old has agreed to a contract, pending visa requirements, that extends until June 2027, with the club holding an option for an extra year. In an official statement, the Premier League club indicated that Amorim is set to commence his role on Monday, 11 November, following the completion of his current commitments with Sporting. “Ruben is one of the most exciting and highly rated young coaches in European football.” “Highly decorated as both a player and coach, his titles include winning the Primeira Liga twice in Portugal with Sporting, the first of which was the club’s first title in 19 years.” Ruud van Nistelrooy will remain in charge of the team until Amorim assumes his new position. The appointment of the Portuguese coach follows the departure of Erik ten Hag, which occurred on Monday.
