Ruben Amorim Named New Manchester United Head Coach

Manchester United has appointed Rúben Amorim as their new head coach, effective November 11, replacing Erik ten Hag, who was dismissed after a poor start to the season left the club 14th in the Premier League. Amorim, who previously led Sporting CP to two Primeira Liga titles, is seen as a highly sought-after coach and will bring a fresh tactical approach to Old Trafford. His contract includes a €10 million release clause, which United promptly activated to secure his services. Until Amorim officially takes over, Ruud van Nistelrooy will serve as interim manager for the next three matches. Amorim's first game in charge will be against Ipswich Town on November 24, following a brief transition period. The club's new board, led by Sir Jim Ratcliffe, will be eager to avoid the pitfalls experienced during Ten Hag's tenure as they seek to restore United's former glory.
