Manchester United planned to dismiss Amorim even before the match against Leeds. New details of the decision revealed
Manchester United has decided to part ways with head coach Ruben Amorim. The Portuguese specialist leaves the club after just 14 months at the helm. His final match ended in a 1-1 draw with Leeds on Sunday.
Details: According to The Telegraph, the final decision was made even before the game against Leeds. The turning point came during a meeting between Amorim and football director Jason Wilcox, after which the club's management concluded that their working relationship had become unsustainable. Sources report that a discussion on tactical matters, particularly the coach's commitment to the 3-4-3 formation, escalated into a heated conflict.
The club had expected that over time Amorim would show more flexibility and adapt his system to the Premier League and the current squad, especially in light of the summer transfer window. However, the management believed that under pressure, the coach consistently reverted to the same style of play regardless of the opponent, which ultimately led to a loss of trust.
The decision to dismiss him was made by CEO Omar Berrada and Jason Wilcox, with the support of the board of directors. On Monday morning, Amorim was officially informed at the Carrington training ground.
