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.
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
