One day after officially arriving at Old Trafford, Ruben Amorim announced the new personnel in the coaching staff. The assistants who have previously worked with the 39-year-old coach at Sporting are all present, including Carlos Fernandes, Jorge Vital, Adelio Candido, Emanuel Ferro and Paulo Barreira.
Although he brought his entire trusted team to the new team, Amorim did not completely break with the old members of Erik ten Hag's coaching staff. Darren Fletcher, Andreas Georgson and cra cra Mawson were still retained.
Among them, Fletcher's position is considered the most important because he is the most knowledgeable Man United in the current coaching staff after a long time with the Old Trafford team.
Among the new assistants brought to England, Amorim still chose Fernandes to lead this group as he did at Sporting. Fernandes has been with Amorim for a long time, since the young strategist started his career at Casa Pisa, then went to Sporting Braga and Sporting Lisbon.
Vital, meanwhile, came to Man United as a goalkeeper coach. Candido and Ferro both joined as first-team coaches. The next person is Barreira, who will be the fitness coach. Previously, Barreira did a similar job at Arsenal and Liverpool, so he is quite knowledgeable about the Premier League. He will have more or less experience in this playground.
Currently, Candido has not been able to officially start the measurement work, which is stuck with some visa issues in the UK. Amorim plans to add Eduardo Rosalino as an analyst assistant, but Rosalino is also having a similar problem to Candido. However, both are in the process of applying for a visa quite well and will soon start work.
Amorim's side have been very successful in the Primeira Liga, but whether they can do the same in the Premier League or not is another matter. Previously, Ten Hag was as successful and famous as Amorim but failed. The assistants Ten Hag brought in in the early stages did not leave an impression.
Ten Hag's most trusted relative, Van der Gaag, even left the team before the Dutch strategist was fired. Before this season, Ten Hag added Ruud van Nistelrooy to the coaching staff but he did not have time to go with the new assistant until the end of the season. Later, when Van Gol left the team, his assistants such as Rene Hake, Jelle ten Rouwelaar and Pieter Morel also packed up and left Old Trafford.
Ruben Amorim will have his first match in his new position on November 24 when Man United visited Ipswich Town in round 12 of the Premier League.
