Manchester United have confirmed the departure of Ruben Amorim as Head Coach, ending his tenure 14 months after his appointment.
A Short but Notable Tenure
Manchester United appointed Ruben Amorim in November 2024. During his time at Old Trafford, Amorim guided the team to the UEFA Europa League final in Bilbao in May.
The run to the final marked a highlight of his spell in charge and showed signs of progress on the European stage.
League Position Prompts Change
Despite European success, Manchester United currently sit sixth in the Premier League.
Club leadership has stated that, after careful consideration, a change was required to give the squad the strongest chance of securing the highest possible league finish during the remainder of the season.
In an official statement, the club said the decision was made reluctantly, acknowledging Amorim’s contribution while stressing the need to act in the team’s best interests.
Interim Arrangements Confirmed
Former midfielder Darren Fletcher will take charge of the first team on an interim basis. He will lead Manchester United in their upcoming Premier League fixture against Burnley on Wednesday.
Club Thanks and Next Steps
Manchester United thanked Amorim for his work and commitment during his time at the club and wished him well for the future. Further details regarding a permanent appointment are expected to be announced in due course.
