Erik ten Hag dismissed, Manchester United immediately began looking for his replacement. According to the English media, the Red Devils initially seemed to favor an internal solution like Ruud van Nistelrooy, assistant coach of ETH. An unexpected comeback from a former member of the house, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, was also cited. In vain.
Still eager to finally launch its project, INEOS quickly turned to one of the coaches whose popularity is skyrocketing: Ruben Amorim. This afternoon, the arrival of the Portuguese technician at Old Trafford is no longer clear. The Lisbon team has just officially announced that the Red Devils had contacted them with the aim of recruiting their coach.
Amorim on the bench against Chelsea?
“Manchester United FC has expressed interest in signing coach Rúben Amorim, and the Sporting SAD Board of Directors has referred to the terms of the employment contract in force between the company and the coach, in particular to the respective termination clause and to the value of 10,000,000.00 euros. Manchester United FC has expressed interest in paying Sporting SAD the value of the aforementioned clause”indicates the press release published by the SCP to the Securities Market Commission (CMVM).
According to the English press, MU’s idea would be to move as quickly as possible so that Amorim manages his first match this weekend. An introduction which would take place during the reception of Chelsea. Announced last year in the sights of PSG and as a potential successor to Jürgen Klopp at Liverpool, Ruben Amorim, who immediately accepted the Mancunian offer, will finally have his chance with a European juggernaut. And for Sporting CP, it will be the start of a new era since it must be remembered that its sporting director Hugo Viana should also leave the ship to go to Manchester City.
