Manchester: Ruben Amorim has stepped down from his position as head coach of Manchester United, bringing an end to his brief spell at the club.
Amorim took charge in November 2024 and oversaw a notable run in Europe, guiding United to the UEFA Europa League final in Bilbao in May. However, with the team currently placed sixth in the Premier League, the club’s hierarchy has decided that a managerial change is necessary at this stage of the season.
In a statement, the club indicated that the decision was taken to maximise their chances of securing the strongest possible league finish. While acknowledging the difficulty of the move, the leadership believes the change will better serve the team’s immediate objectives.
Manchester United expressed gratitude to Amorim for his efforts during his tenure and wished him success in his future endeavours.
Assistant Coach Darren Fletcher will assume interim responsibility and will be in charge for Wednesday’s Premier League fixture against Burnley.
