Manchester United have sacked Ruben Amorim as head coach, bringing an abrupt end to the 40-year-old’s tenure at Old Trafford after just 14 months in charge of Manchester United. David Orstein from The Athletic.
The Portuguese manager was informed of the club’s decision earlier today and is leaving with immediate effect following a complete breakdown in behind-the-scenes relations.
The move marks another moment of significant upheaval for Man United, who have once again been forced into a managerial reset amid concerns over direction, results and internal harmony.
Sources close to the matter indicate that tensions between Amorim and the club’s senior hierarchy had been brewing for some timewith disagreements over recruitment strategy.
Ruben Amorim failed to find consistency at Man United
Amorim arrived at United with a strong reputation built during his time at Sporting CP, where he was widely praised for his modern tactical approach and ability to develop young players. However, despite initial optimism, his time in Manchester proved inconsistent.
Insiders suggest United bosses became frustrated with what they perceived as a lack of evolution in Amorim’s approach, especially as the team struggled to respond during difficult times in domestic and European competitions.
The strained relationship has reportedly reached a critical point in recent weeks, making his position untenable despite the club’s initial desire for long-term stability.
Immediately following Amorim’s departure, Darren Fletcher is expected to take over as interim head coach.
The Red Devils have a replacement planned
Fletcher, who has been part of United’s football management structure in recent years, is seen internally as a stable presence capable of providing short-term continuity while the club evaluates his next permanent appointment.
His deep understanding of club culture and dressing room dynamics is seen as a key asset during what promises to be a delicate transition period.
United are not expected to rush into a permanent appointment, with reports suggesting the board will carry out a thorough review of candidates who fit their vision of a progressive and adaptable manager capable of handling the pressures of elite football.
For now, the focus at Old Trafford will be on stabilizing performances, restoring morale within the team and ensuring the season does not stray further off course.
