Ruben Amorim Appointed Manchester United Manager

Manchester United has appointed Ruben Amorim as their new head coach, succeeding Erik ten Hag, who was dismissed after a poor start to the season. Amorim, 39, moves from Sporting Lisbon, where he enjoyed success, winning two league titles and three League Cups, and he will officially take charge on November 11, under a contract until June 2027. This marks a shift in title from 'manager' to 'head coach', indicating a possible evolution in the club's management structure, with Amorim focusing more on team tactics rather than broader managerial duties. United currently sits in 14th place in the Premier League, having struggled offensively with only eight goals this season. The club hopes Amorim’s attacking style will revive their fortunes, which have waned since Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement in 2013. The move comes after United quickly sought a replacement amid ongoing discussions about improving team performance following significant financial investments in player acquisitions.
