After 14 months! Man Utd sack Amorim

Manchester United have parted ways with head coach Ruben Amorim, bringing his 14-month tenure at Old Trafford to an abrupt end.

The club confirmed the decision on Tuesday morning, just hours after the Portuguese manager's fiery press conference.

Former United midfielder Darren Fletcher has been appointed as interim head coach and will lead the team for their upcoming match against Burnley on Wednesday.

The club has indicated that a permanent replacement is not expected to be named until the summer.

The dismissal follows a period of disappointing results that have left the team in sixth place in the Premier League table. In an official statement, the club explained the reasoning behind the change.

"Ruben Amorim has departed his role as Head Coach of Manchester United," the statement read. "Ruben was appointed in November 2024 and led the team to a UEFA Europa League Final in Bilbao in May."

"With Manchester United sitting sixth in the Premier League, the club’s leadership has reluctantly made the decision that it is the right time to make a change. This will give the team the best opportunity of the highest possible Premier League finish."

The club concluded by expressing gratitude for Amorim's efforts: "The club would like to thank Ruben for his contribution to the club and wishes him well for the future."
