Portuguese Ruben Amorim has been appointed coach of Manchester United, the English Premier League team announced today.
The 39-year-old will take charge of the club on November 11 and will stay with the Red Devils until June 2027, according to a statement.
Ruud van Nistelrooy will continue his duties as interim manager until the arrival of Amorim.
Manchester United sacked Dutch coach Erik ten Hag on Monday after the weekend defeat. Appointed in April 2022, Ten Hag led Manchester United to two domestic trophies - the League Cup in 2023 and the FA Cup in 2024.
Sporting Lisbon coach Amorim, who spent a week as a trainee at Manchester United during manager Jose Mourinho's era between 2016 and 2018, won two Portuguese league titles with Sporting Lisbon in the 2020-21 and 2023-24 seasons after a one-year spell with Braga, another Portuguese club. /AA
