Manchester United has made a blockbuster move, securing Ruben Amorim as their new head coach after triggering a €10 million release clause from Sporting CP! 🌟 The 39-year-old Portuguese tactician, known for his trophy-laden stint in Lisbon, will take charge at Old Trafford on November 11 once he wraps up his final games with Sporting.
Amorim’s stats are 🔥: 163 wins in 229 matches, two Primeira Liga titles, and a rep for reviving Sporting’s glory. United called him \"one of Europe’s most exciting young coaches\" in a hype-packed statement, highlighting his role in ending Sporting’s 19-year title drought in 2021.
Meanwhile, interim boss Ruud van Nistelrooy holds the fort until Amorim arrives, stepping in after Erik ten Hag’s exit last month. Ten Hag, who led United to an EFL Cup and FA Cup but slumped to an 8th-place league finish, bid farewell in an emotional open letter: \"I wish fans success, trophies, and glory.\"
Can Amorim turn the Red Devils’ fortunes around? 👀 With a contract until 2027 (plus a one-year option), the pressure’s on to revive the Premier League giant!
