Ruben Amorim sacked: Manchester United dismiss head coach after 14 months in charge

Manchester United have sacked head coach Ruben Amorim after 14 months in charge. According to sources close to the club, 'emotional and inconsistent behaviour' were key factors behind his dismissal, while a refusal to adapt his preferred 3-4-3 system led to a breakdown in confidence among senior staff.

Amorim had been scheduled for a meeting with director of football Jason Wilcox on Friday but instead met Omar Berrada, the club's chief executive. It was reportedly an uncomfortable encounter where Amorim's response at the table was deemed 'very negative and emotional' by United's bosses.

The decision comes after a tumultuous period in which the Portuguese manager struggled to make an impact, particularly in the transfer market. In his final press conference as head coach, Amorim claimed he had come to Manchester United to be a manager not just a coach.

Amorim took the reins at Old Trafford in November 2024 on a two-and-a-half-year contract. During his tenure, he has won only 24 of his 63 games in charge in all competitions, an average return that ranks him as the worst of any United boss since Sir Alex Ferguson's departure.

The move marks a significant shake-up for Manchester United ahead of their FA Cup third-round tie against Brighton on Sunday and their Premier League clash with Burnley later this week.
 
man, another coaching change at Old Trafford 🤯‍♂️. it's not like they didn't see the signs - 24 wins in 63 games is pretty bad 📉. i think amorim just got caught between being a coach and a manager, you know? trying to stick with his 3-4-3 system but not getting the results he wanted... it's hard to blame him, really 😊.

but, like, you can't just point fingers at one person and say 'emotional behaviour' was the reason for their departure 🤔. maybe there were some bigger issues going on behind the scenes? still, gotta give credit where credit is due - amorim did have a tough job trying to turn the team around 💪.

anyway, now they've got another coach coming in, hoping to make an impact 🎯. that's gonna be interesting to watch 👀
 
omg, i think man utd is really struggling right now 🤯 they need to get their act together ASAP. that 3-4-3 system thingy seems like a red flag - maybe it's time for them to adapt and try something new? 😂 anyway, whoever gets in next gotta bring some wins, pronto! ⏰
 
I feel bad for Ruben Amorim, he just seemed like such an enthusiastic guy when he started out 🤔. It's really sad that it didn't work out, he was only trying to put his own stamp on the team, but I guess Manchester United is a massive club and it's hard to adapt to their way of doing things 💪. I'm curious though, did anyone think the 3-4-3 system would be a good fit for them? It just seems like they're stuck in a rut right now 😔
 
🤔 So I think what's really going on here is that the club has just decided to change its approach to team management, you know? They've been trying out different managers for a while now, and it seems like they're not getting the results they want.

I mean, 24 wins in 63 games is not exactly impressive. And Ruben Amorim's system just didn't seem to be working out, especially when it came to transfers. It's one thing to have a solid coaching style, but if you can't get players to fit into that system, then what's the point?

I think it's also worth noting that Manchester United has this massive budget and resources at its disposal, but still they can't seem to get it right. Maybe they need someone who's more flexible and adaptable? Someone who's not so attached to their own way of doing things.

It's a big shake-up for the club, especially with their FA Cup game against Brighton coming up. But I think this is actually an opportunity for them to regroup and try something new. 🔄
 
this is what happens when you have too much eggo. ruben amorim wasnt exactly the most popular guy at manchester united, but i mean, 24 wins out of 63 games? that's just brutal 🤣. it's like he was stuck in his ways and refused to adjust to the changing landscape of football. and yeah, a 3-4-3 system can be clunky if not executed properly ⚽️. but still, manchester united should've been more considerate in how they handled his departure... now they're gonna have to figure out what's next 🤔
 
man I'm so done with managers at man united its like they can't even manage the most basic things right 🤦‍♂️ first of all 24 wins in 63 games is a joke that's not even something from a lowly relegation battle squad lets be real ruben amorim was always gonna get the boot sooner or later and I'm actually kinda surprised its not been earlier especially with how much drama he caused during his press conference who needs a coach like that anyway 🙄
 
Omg 😱💔 what's going on at Old Trafford?! 🤯 Ruben Amorim's sack is like, totally not surprising 🙄 he was struggling big time 💪 and it seems like his system wasn't working out either 📉 3-4-3 just isn't doing the trick, you feel? 😐 Jason Wilcox must be super stressed now 😬 but, I guess change is good for United 🔄 new head coach, who knows? 🤔 maybe they'll get it right this time 🙏. FA Cup against Brighton and Burnley match coming up... can't wait to see what happens ⚽️👀
 
I'm so shocked 🤯, I mean what happened to Amorim? He had such high hopes when he took over in Nov last year and it's like the club just lost faith in him ⚠️. 24 wins out of 63 games is not good enough for a team as massive as Man Utd 🤔. And that system thing, I'm with him on that - you gotta adapt to change, especially when it comes to a big club like this 🔴. I feel bad for the bloke, he seemed like a passionate guy who just wanted to do things his way 😊. Guess we'll see what the new coach brings 🤞...
 
idk how long it takes them to figure out that 3-4-3 is not the answer 🤦‍♂️, i mean ruben amorim's been saying it for months now but no one listened 🗣️, and now he's gone 😔, and to be honest, i think it's a bit harsh on him, he was trying his best, but yeah, emotional behaviour can't be an excuse, especially when you're in charge of a big club like manchester united 💪, and what really bothers me is that they won't give the guy a fair chance to turn things around, just 14 months? 🕰️, it's not that long, but i guess it's true what they say, "you can't stay in one place forever" 👋
 
Ugh man... I'm shocked 😱! 14 months is like, a decent chunk of time for a coach to settle in and make some changes right? And now they're just chucked out without even giving him a chance to prove himself more? I get it, the results haven't been great but come on, he's only had 24 wins out of 63 games! That's not his fault, that's the team's fault. He was trying something new and it didn't work, but to just axe him like this is kinda harsh 😒. I mean, I know he said some stuff in that meeting with Omar Berrada, but still... it's all a bit dramatic for my taste 🤯.
 
Man... what's happenin' at Old Trafford? 🤯 I feel like they're losin' their grip on things. Ruben Amorim, the guy had a tough time gettin' it done, ya know? He said he came there to be a manager not just a coach, but did that really translate into wins on the pitch? 🏆 24 wins outta 63 games is like, what, 3-4% win rate? That's just crazy. I mean, I get it, he tried his system, but sometimes you gotta adapt and move on. I feel bad for the guy, but the suits at United gotta make a decision that's best for the team. And now they're changin' things up again... hope they find someone who can bring some stability to that squad 🤞
