Manchester United have appointed Ruben Amorim as their new head coach after sacking Erik ten Hag. It comes after the Portuguese club Sporting confirmed United had contacted them about their manager. Amorim has signed a contract until June 2027, with the option of a further year, and will join United on Monday 11 November during the international break. Club legend Ruud van Nistelrooy, who was assistant manager under the Dutchman, will continue to take charge of the team on an interim basis.
Amorim, 39, led Sporting to their first league title in 19 years in 2021 and repeated the achievement with the Lisbon club last season. The Portuguese manager's team have won all nine games so far this term and are again top of their league. Amorim is one of the most sought-after young coaches in football and did an internship under Jose Mourinho when he was United manager.
