Manchester United appoint Ruben Amorim as their new head coach. The Portuguese will move from Sporting Lisbon to England on November 11.
Ruben Amorim has signed a contract with Manchester United until the summer of 2027. Ruud van Nistelrooy, the interim successor to Erik ten Hag, who was dismissed on Monday, will remain in charge of the Red Devils for the next three games.
During this time, the 39-year-old Amorim will continue his work at Sporting Lisbon. Sporting, the leaders in Portugal (9 games, 9 wins), play league games against Estrela and Braga and host Manchester City in the Champions League until November 10. After that, there will be no more league games for three weeks. This also gives Sporting Lisbon time to sort out Amorim's successor.
Ruben Amorim is the sixth Manchester United manager since Sir Alex Ferguson retired in 2013 after 26 years in charge.
