Identifying the new head coach of Man Utd

On his personal page, transfer news expert Fabrizio Romano said that Sporting Lisbon confirmed that Man Utd paid 10 million euros to release coach Ruben Amorim from his contract. The 39-year-old will officially become the team's head coach in the next few hours.

Previously, Ruben Amorim agreed with Man Utd's offer on salary, related benefits and team development plan. The Portuguese coach will soon be at Old Trafford to complete the contract and immediately start his new job. He will meet his former teammate from his playing days, center-back Lindelof, and two midfielders he coached, Manuel Ugarte and Bruno Fernandes.

Ruben Amorim becomes Man Utd head coach.

On the evening of October 28, the Man Utd board of directors officially fired coach Erik ten Hag. The information was officially posted on the club's website. The Dutch coach's term officially ended after 30 months.

Under Erik ten Hag, Man Utd have had their worst start to a Premier League season. After 7 rounds, Man Utd have only 8 points. The old record also belonged to Erik ten Hag, when Man Utd only won 9 points after 7 rounds in the 2023-24 season. The loss to West Ham last Sunday made the Red Devils' leadership lose patience, sacking Ten Hag after less than 24 hours.

Ten Hag's contract actually expires in June 2026, or about 21 months. Coach Ten Hag receives a salary of 9 million pounds each year when leading Man Utd. According to calculations by The Athletic, the Old Trafford team must compensate Ten Hag up to 16 million pounds (about 530 billion VND) for firing him in the middle of the season.

Coach Ruben Amorim received a lot of expectations from fans. He will bring a new football philosophy with the 3-4-3 tactical formation that is rarely applied at Man Utd. However, many people also expressed concern because before coming to Man Utd, coach Erik ten Hag also created great attraction for many big teams in Europe. But after 3 years, Mr. Erik ten Hag suffered a humiliating defeat and was fired.
