Manchester United sack Ruben Amorim after 14 Months

Manchester United have dismissed Ruben Amorim as head coach, with the decision taking immediate effect.

The 40-year-old Portuguese coach was informed of the club’s decision following a breakdown in relations after 14 months in charge. The club acknowledged the decision in a short statement shared on social media (Twitter), posting: “Club statement: Ruben Amorim.”

According to reports from The Athletic, Darren Fletcher is expected to step in as interim head coach while the club assesses its next move.

Amorim’s departure brings another abrupt end to a managerial tenure at Old Trafford, continuing a period of instability on the touchline. United now face a familiar task: steadying the squad and deciding on a long-term direction as the season moves forward.
