Manchester United has officially appointed Ruben Amorim as their new head coach, entrusting the highly-regarded Sporting Lisbon boss to lead the club through an ambitious rebuild. The Portuguese tactician will assume the role on November 11, following Erik ten Hag's dismissal after United's latest defeat to West Ham.
The 39-year-old Amorim joins United on a contract extending through June 2027, with an option for an additional year, bringing an impressive track record to Old Trafford. Known for his modern tactics and sharp strategic mind, Amorim guided Sporting CP to two Primeira Liga titles, ending the club’s 19-year title drought with his first win.
United has expressed confidence in Amorim’s potential to reshape the squad, citing his reputation as “one of European football’s most exciting young coaches.” Amorim will finish his current obligations with Sporting, including three crucial matches before the international break, and aims to make a fresh start with the Red Devils immediately after.
His appointment signals a new era for United, and fans are eager to see the impact of his leadership on the team’s Premier League ambitions.
