In round 9 of the Premier League, Man United unexpectedly lost to West Ham. This was considered the last straw, as the Red Devils continued to sink to 14th place on the rankings. As a result, coach Ten Hag was fired by Man United.
After the Dutch coach left, many were curious about who would take his place. According to journalist Romano, Sporting CP coach Ruben Amorim was chosen. The Portuguese team also confirmed that they were parting ways with their coach, further solidifying this opinion.
Amorim shares something in common with Man United captain Bruno Fernandes, as they both worked at Sporting CP. Despite the 30-year-old leaving before the Portuguese tactician signed, Bruno has expressed his admiration for the coach.
Earlier in October, Bruno Fernandes praised Ruben Amorim on Sapo Desporto, noting how the coach had transformed Sporting: “Since coach Amorim arrived at Sporting, they have become one of the teams playing the best football.
They have stability, the new signings are working and they are in a great moment. They are a very well prepared team. As for Amorim, he showed his readiness. Winning at Sporting is not easy, because the team has been without a trophy for 20 years.
But since he arrived, Amorim has won two titles, which is a reflection of how well things are going. I don't know if he could do the same in England, Spain or anywhere else, but his quality is there for everyone to see."
After more than 4 years leading Sporting Lisbon, coach Ruben Amorim has gone through 238 matches. He helped his team win 5 titles, notably 2 Portuguese National Championships.
