Manchester United Chooses New Manager Rúben Amorim


 

Manchester United has officially chosen Rúben Amorim as their new manager. Amorim, 39 years old, signed a contract to lead the team until 2027, with an option for an extra year if the club decides to extend it.

Key Details of Amorim's Appointment

  • Contract Duration: Amorim’s contract runs until 2027, with the possibility of an extra year if Manchester United decides.
  • Current Role: Before he can fully join United, Amorim must finish a notice period with Sporting Lisbon, his current club.
  • Start Date: Amorim will begin his role at United on November 11.

Until then, Ruud van Nistelrooy, the caretaker manager, will continue to lead the team. Van Nistelrooy will be in charge for United’s next three games. Amorim’s first match as manager will be against Ipswich Town on November 24.

Transition Agreement

Manchester United carefully followed the terms of Amorim's contract with Sporting Lisbon. They arranged a deal to shorten his notice period, allowing him to start sooner. This required a fee to release him from his current role.

Background on Amorim

The club’s official statement highlights Amorim as an exciting and highly respected young coach in European football. He has a strong record, having led Sporting CP to two Primeira Liga championships, including the club's first title in 19 years.

Financial Terms

Manchester United will pay Sporting Lisbon around €10 million (about $10.87 million) to release Amorim, plus an extra €1 million to bring some of Sporting's staff members to Manchester United.

Next Steps

For now, Van Nistelrooy will continue as temporary manager and lead the team against Chelsea on Sunday at Old Trafford. His long-term role with United remains undecided.

 Ruben Amorim is set to take the reins at Manchester United, but reports suggest that he will have a limited transfer budget for the upcoming January window. According to The Guardian, United may announce his appointment very soon, following an agreement with Sporting Lisbon for his release. Amorim is expected to officially step into the managerial role in November, succeeding Erik ten Hag, who was sacked earlier this week. During his tenure, Ten Hag was granted a significant budget of £200 million for the summer transfer window.

However, after such substantial spending, United finds itself in a position where little of that budget remains available for new acquisitions in January. One important factor influencing Amorim’s spending is the club's adherence to the Profitability and Sustainability Rules (PSR). These regulations, estab...
